Got anything you wanted to ask? (within reason)
To start off easily, what does your username mean?
At first I wanted to start fights and generate traffic for my forum. Now I just come here for the fun discussions.
Do you have any phobias?
I have met several rather nice people and it has tempered my opinion of some denominations of Christianity (who had initially presented themselves to me by telling me I was a terrible parent and going to hell) and then again, I have seen several people on here who are as judgmental as those people and I avoid them.
What do you think about atheists in general and has your experience on here influenced that opinion?
I grew up in a house that didn't embrace religion but didn't shun it either. When I said I wanted to try going to church as a kid (my friends went), so my parents took me. It didn't last long, but I still told people that I believed in God. In middle school, I started to think about whether I did or not. In high school, I tried going to church on my own. It didn't take again and I really started to doubt to the point where I realized that I just didn't believe. I have since read much of the Bible and I have never felt compelled to start believing again.
Have you always been Christian? What denominations have you been a part of?
I know I have been to a non-demoninational church, but I'm not sure what other church I attended as a kid. I have also been to a service or two at a Catholic church (funeral) and a Bar Mitzvah and I'm pretty sure I went to a couple other Jewish services too. I haven't done a lot of regular attending outside of that.
Do you have conversations with door-to-door religious visitors?
Those are actually 2 groups that have always been very polite to me, even when I was rude (something I've moved beyond now).
If you had the opportunity, which planet would you like to visit?
Are you a native to California?>
What's your profile pic a picture of?
