• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hey, guys. I'm an atheist but I'd like to join this community if you don't mind. I'll be as respectful as I can towards all of your beliefs. I have no qualms with you guys believing in something I don't. I understand some of you might have had some rough experiences with atheists. We're not all hateful or judging towards Christians and I'll do my best to show that. Sorry if this post was cheesy or awkward. I'm new to the whole 'forums' thing. I've never really used one before. :wave:

An atheist named Christian. Maybe something was meant to be. :angel:

I'm glad you're here.

Welcome to CF!

I was the same way with Christians when I was a nonbeliever.

Welcome aboard, ChristianR_! There's always room here at CF for "new blood," whether they're Christian or atheist, or even if they want to come here to try out their latest Street Epistemology techniques on us.

Peace :cool:

No problem. Looking forward to discussions with you to explore whether there is a real God out there who communicates with us.

I do suspect that because you have decided to participate in this forum that you do have an enquiring mind and want to find out whether there is a God or not. So I will be happy to answer any questions you have about it, and I will be non-judgmental in my answers. :)

Thanks. I don't really have any questions I'd like to ask at the moment, but I'll keep you in mind if I have any that really bother me.
