I'm leaving this forum

I feel like I have been wasting too much time on here. Threads go through the same arguments again and again and never reach a resolve.

This doesn't apply to everyone by any means, but what some Christians have said is incredibly off-putting. It's not necessarily Christian theology, it's the way the theology is presented.

I learned things about Christianity in my time here. Not all of it positive, but not all of it negative either. It's been fascinating to hear the different opinions.

I've been feeling more agnostic lately than anything. I'm open to the existence of a God and evidence for one could sway my mind. I do not currently profess a belief in any God. My atheism was never an absolute.

I don't know what I'm looking for, but I don't think I will find it in mainstream Christianity.

And as long as I'm on a truth rampage, I do not live in Antarctica.

I'm also going to end my memberships to other sites and focus more on my goals in real life, so nobody take this personally. I know I've worked up quite a fan following.

I never "met" you online but I just want to wish you the best in your search for answers. I would suggest that you not seek the truth via people but through God. He is real, alive, and loves you!

If you desire more then the usual mundane, then by all means, feel free to engage me within it. I don't know you, never heard of you, nor have any understanding along what you are looking for, wordage wise, but it's very rare I've not been able to cover every single base in full along getting people to think and know God and what he created in terms they can understand.

Give this place a second chance, by at the very least, giving me a chance to dialog with you along these matters.

I will put you into my prayers, and you know unto itself at the very least, is not a bad thing.

If you do not have problems there is no need to accept Christianity, so there may come a better time in your life to be more acceptable of Christianity. Do not hesitate to come back, but a much better way to see God is in the life of a Christ like person.

Sorry to hear this. I hope you will accept it sometime.


This is the tip of the iceberg.
There is evidence of the bible.
Visit: www.TheBibleProofBook.com, (you will need acrobat reader for this), read The Evidence That Demands A Verdict by Josh McDowell a former agnostic- (its overwhelming circumstantial evidence of bible) and Examine the Evidence by Muncaster a former athiest/The Case for Christ and The Real Jesus by Lee Strobel a former athiest.

The main things Christianity provides me:
1. Total relief from the huge burden my sins have created. These sins are no longer a burden or a problem and actually become part of my witness (they are the how I was before Christ came into my life). I feel I can almost fly with the freedom I have been given.
2. The indwelling Holy Spirit, becomes a personal guarantee that God is going to fulfill everything he has promised me. I am not relying on what someone I trust believes or said, but the indwelling Holy Spirit. I know He is there because of what He does and has done for me. He can be as active as I allow Him to be in my life.
3. Godly type Love as both a compelling force and huge strength. This Love combined with the faith I have can do great things. It transforms me into a loving person.
4. The promise of Godly wisdom. Not a worldly wisdom, but wisdom that can change my life.
5. The birthright to heaven that cannot be taken away.

We all face that. For me I try to be different and leave others to judge. Many people here need more than the critical, judgemental, always right attitudes that some seem to delight in. So, I hang around for them. And even manage to subvert a few such people now and again.
