Welcome!
Post #1It seems to me, that new members rarely post a introduction thread anymore. As such I am making this thread as a way that new members can say hi, and get to know a couple of people on the forums.

Post #491Hello everyone! I'm a fairly young guy with a particular interest in Christianity, to the point that I believe in it. I'm decently well-read on history, though I'm no expert. I thought it'd be interesting to join in on discussions with people I might strongly disagree with, whether they be non-Christians or other Christians.

You can give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day, or you can teach a man to pray for fish and he will starve to death.
I blame man for codifying those rules into a book which allowed superstitious people to perpetuate a barbaric practice. Rules that must be followed or face an invisible beings wrath. - KenRU
It is sad that in an age of freedom some people are enslaved by the nomads of old. - Marco
If you are unable to demonstrate that what you believe is true and you absolve yourself of the burden of proof, then what is the purpose of your arguments? - brunumb

Post #493Hi! I’m Haven.
I’m not actually “new†(I joined in 2010, then re-joined in 2014), but I’ve been away for a while. I’m back because I finally got sick of social media and all the bots, shills and bad-faith arguments and missed the deeper, respectful discussions that take place here.
Looking forward to connecting / reconnecting with the community here and having some interesting, fun discussions.
