Hi! I'm writing to say hello. As a former atheist of 25 years, present day skeptic, and Christian believer I'd like to respectfully disagree with some of the things I've seen said on this site. I'm looking forward to some interesting discussion.

Welcome Atomic... you can disrespectfully disagree too after all disrespect of an idea is not disrespect of a person.

You are rather rare. Other than all babies being born atheist, few older people who have notoriously (in the religious sense) indicated atheism jump to Christianity.

Welcome. I look forward to seeing the substance of your objections.

Welcome, Atomic!

I can't wait to hear what convinced you.

Hi & welcome. Looking forward to your contribution

Welcome Atomic.

As a former atheist converted to Christianity, you are in good company.

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEESE dont get banned. OK!

There arent many Christians at rationalskepticism.org but all the other rational folk here have been kind enough to let me hang out for a long time (albeit with one or two or three temporary interruptions.)

So once you get the feel of the place I hope you'll like it.

G'Day from Brisbane, Australia, and welcome into the lifeboat ! This is my greeting for all new members and contains some useful stuff for you.

If you haven't seen it already, you may want to take a look at our New Members' Welcome Pack which will give you some helpful resources such as how to modify your membership display settings, how to navigate around the forum, point you to some threads which address commonly asked questions from newbies, and gives you some handy links to other sites which will help you develop your skepticism. It also contains our forum rules, which we ask that you abide by at all times.

If you're new to this type of phpBB software on forums, you might like to take a look at our Handy Hints for Posting On The Forum, which will show you how to change your text, insert images & youtube clips, and do some other cool stuff.

And finally, as a house warming present for you, here's a few laughs for your entertainment.

Aaaaaw, Lion, are you lonely?

Atomic, welcome to RatSkep. I'm curious too as to how you went from atheism to christianity, it just boggles my mind

Well I think Atomic is still 99.95% atheist, as many Christians don't believe in every god, but think that all the other gods don't exist.

I'm also looking forward to atomic's contributions. Welcome to ratskep!

Welcome aboard

I too will be interested if you decide to tell us how you fell prey to the screaming idiocy that is god-worshiping religion.

Welcome aboard.

I'm interested to learn more about what you mean by "ugly atheist baggage" and hopefully this will be explained through your posts.

Perhaps he took exception to one of Richard Dawkins's suitcases?

Meh, you weren't real atheists before you fell for that Christianity stuff.

Welcome!

Well it's his own fault for making off with Dawkin's hand luggage then. Unless, Dawkin's luggage has lots of little feet and follows its owner around.....

Terry Pratchett is also an atheist, so I suppose that might be the one.

Hello and welcome!

Welcome.

Welcome!

Looking forward to an interesting discussion.
