Hey I'm new
Post #1Hey everyone. I joined yesterday, and I have already been part of some debates. I'm a Christian. I'm 17, I'm a senior in high school, and I enjoy archery, shooting guns, throwing knives, playing electric guitar and learning about the human body. Yes, I'm a female that likes shooting things and throwing knives at trees. I also like war movies and I listen to heavy metal. I can take insults and attacks on me and my faith but I do get angry easily. If you want to know any more about me or if you want to talk about guns, guitars, or metal you can PM me.

I'm not ashamed of what I believe. Sin is the root of anger unless its righteous anger, and it's also a hereditary personality trait I got from my dad.

Post #4Welcome. 
I have little interest in guns or in metal. I like guitars and how they are played by Jeff Beck, BB King, Django Reinhardt, Carlos Santana and Leona Boyd. Have you heard of any of them?

Welcome Onefaith. What's your favourite war movie? Mine is Platoon.
Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.
Prayer is like rubbing an old bottle and hoping that a genie will pop out and grant you three wishes.
There is much about this world that is mind boggling and impressive, but I see no need whatsoever to put it down to magical super powered beings.
