hi Tabba

delighted to see a new face!

Hey, ecuworrier. Delighted to be here.

you aren't the first proffessed non-believer here and some of us who are believers are less than thrilled with what the church tells us about GOD and the Bible

For sure. I realised a while back that it's premature to state that there is no god. Some atheists do that very thing, but I don't subscribe to the Richard Dawkins brand of atheism; science alone certainly doesn't provide satisfactory answers to some of the questions that many of us have.
On one hand I don't think anyone can truly know if god exists outside of the mind. On the other hand faith in a specific god/religion doesn't cut it for me.

Still, I do like exploring.

Thanks for the warm welcome.




Hey, Jan. Thank you, too, for the warm welcome.

Hi there Tabba - welcome. 

There were more of us from the original Faithspace site, but some haven't joined here as yet. The old site probably got a bit 'stagnant' for various reasons inc no new members being validated.

Indeed, that doesn't help make for a lively forum! Hopefully some new members will come across the site and sign up now that they can.

We did have at least one atheist member on the old site. I guess my 'box' or 'umbrella' now would be Christian Spiritualist/survivalist/... with a few beliefs thrown into the pot from other belief systems (eg I believe in the possibility of reincarnation).

On that note, I continually wonder on what consciousness actually is, and how it manifests.

I like exploring the possibility that everything is some form of quantum consciousness; some science points in the direction of a purposeful, rather than random reality. Who knows.
