Just a little bit about myself. I've considered myself to be a Christian for about 27 years however; just this year in Jan. 2007 finally completely submitted my life to the Lord. Was I truly a saved before Jan.07 I cannot really answer, all I know is that I am for the first time in my life having a very sincere personal relationship with Christ Jesus. God has been working hard on my heart and revealing countless things about Him and His character. So I am a believer.
I am glad I found this website and look forward to reading everyone's comments and posting some of my opinions. To all other believers out there "hello" and to everyone else, I am grateful that your viewing, posting and thinking about the things of God even if you don't believe. Just taking the time to come and debate at this forum is an active part by you to open your mind, heart and soul to the nature of God.
If we are honest with ourselfs I believe we can find the truth!

Hello All Glad to be here!
You stated "Just taking the time to come and debate at this forum is an active part by you to open your mind, heart and soul to the nature of God. "
Is the converse true?
That by coming here you are willing to open your mind, heart and soul' to the nature of the delusion?

You say delusion and I say reality. Who is right and who is wrong? The only way to know for sure is death.Is the converse true?

There are 65 views and 7 replies at the time that I write this – that is a 10.7% reply rate. In any one 24 hour period about 100 visitors (who cannot post) and about 50 members (who can post) typically visit the website.
I would not regard a ten percent response rate as being a “brush off”. You have no way of knowing how many of the views were by visitors. Some threads have thousands of views and less than 10% response rate. Is there some reason why your post should yield particularly high response?
Some members, who could have posted, might not have done so because they found nothing of interest in your introduction.
How would you interpret the significance of the observation that three who responded to you so far are non-theists and only one (site admin) is a theist?

Most people that say they believe in God have no true understanding of Him. They can hardly tell you why they have hope in God and therefore, are scared to debate with someone that does not believe.
Also it appears this site is mostly occupied by non-theists. But thats ok because thats why I'm here.
Nice to meet you Z.
