I'm guessing that this group doesn't get a lot of activity on such a heavily Christian platform.
I'm an unconvinced atheist (not angry, just disinterested for the most part) and would be interested in not so much debate as discourse, prefer conversation to conflict.
Since it behooves me, as the newcomer, to instigate that discourse, I'll offer a little info about my religious history.
I was christened, raised and confirmed in the Church of England - which goes a piece to explaining my atheism 😉, but when I was in my early teens I began to question - as many youth do, I imagine - not so much the validity of the faith I had been inducted into, but the applicability and utility of it in my life.
Over the intervening decades (for the sake of brevity, though I suspect that that is a lost cause by now), I have studied and even engaged in several faith paths, most deeply with modern neo-(pseudo-)pagan beliefs (easiest term is Wicca, though that particular 'tradition' was never really my exact denominative choice) and have been - at various times - a cleric, a counselor and an exorcist within my covens.
I almost converted to Islam at one point, though their aversions to bacon, beer and dogs proved a proscription I couldn't swallow.😂
So, I'm willing to answer questions if any members care to engage.
