Hi I'm Dave.

Hi everyone.

I'm not sure if I belong on this forum because i'm not a christain as such.
I was born into the catholic church and was very devout until i reached 15 years of age. Then so many things didnt make sense to me so I left.
I am now 36 years old and I'm trying to make sense of life.
I am especially curious about the concept of "faith"

Dave

ps. excellent smilies

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Hi Dave.

 

[suzybeezy]

Welcome to the site, where everyone is welcome! You do not have to be a Christian to participate here. There are some areas of the site that are christian only, but there are also areas that are open to everyone that have lots of great discussions and fun. You'll quickly find there's alot to see and do here. There's a forum for almost everything and several are bound to be of interest to you. Don't hesitate to jump in and start participating - the more you participate the more fun you'll have!

Here's a fun little thread to participate in http://www.christianforums.com/t7431667/. You'll note that you have "Reps", which are represented by the yellow stars. Members click on the little lightbulb icon next to your post number and post friendly little comments and this increases your rep count, you also can rep other members. Many members have made it a game to increase their rep counts as almost a challenge to see how high they can get them. lol Its evolved in a fun little way to build friendships and have a little fun.

Hope you enjoy your time here at CF!

Hi Dave,

Welcome to the world of CF, it is a wonderful place -- I hope CF helps you think through your questions about faith. God bless you.

PS. When I joined, the ads on the site were too annoying so I got a subscription to CF and 100% of the ads are eliminated. And besides I liked the concept of forum users helping to pay for the site. The paid version of CF is my favorite forum layout on the Internet -- it has the same excellent organization as the free version, but without the ads, there is a clean style that makes CF a real pleasure to visit. (I wish someone would have told me the day I joined how great the paid version is, so, I pass this tip along for whatever it may be worth).
