Why are you here on this forum?

[sandandfoam]

I'm here because I'm trying to decide what I think

 

[ChristineES]

I joined to annoy Christine.

Ha ha. You've failed at that! But then again, maybe I really annoyed. or a 'noid.

 

[Viker]

Why am I here?

I'm a cult leader recruiting members for my cult. I mean seriously, outside of Starbucks, where else am I going to go to do this? Plus, I get to throw ideas around and have some thrown at me.

Because religion is too much of a taboo subject in the local pub, even much more so than sex and politics. They would rather talk about boring stuff like sport instead. So I have to leave any discussing about religion confined to these forums instead.

This is it exactly. If I went around the community talking like I do here I would get mobbed.

 

[Debater Slayer]

I joined because I wanted to know more about certain topics related to religion and philosophy. What made me stay is how respectful and civil these forums are compared to some others I had found.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

As always, I'm here for the ladies.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Last forum I called "home" was shut down by the owners, so I settled in here. I like religion as a topic in general.

Pure chance, or maybe by design, who can tell?

[Penumbra]

It's cheaper than a movie, and there's free coffee.

 

[Daviso452]

People tell me not to drink coffee. I don't know why. I don't have ADHD or anything.

 

[Viker]

Coffee. It's just one more way to bribe me.

 

[outhouse]

having a couple cups of coffee to start my day at work with the forum, AH priceless LOL

 

[InformedIgnorance]

I like discussing (and yes even debating) theology and philosophy; however IRL, the people around me do not particularly like doing so, with the exception of my brother (whom I am careful about discussing such matters with as he has the occasional 'issue' with such things). I am also careful about debating (or heck - even DISCUSSING) such positions with those people who have strongly held positions and who are not used to rational discussions about their beliefs as I feel that such a thing can identify significant limitations with many people's belief systems - in particular those who are religious. Mainly because I am really quite good at picking apart people's (il)logical positions or arguments.

I come here in the (what often seems unsuccessful) attempt to stumble across some sort of interesting discussion, and perhaps some interesting company if I am lucky.

What thoughts are going through your brain?

 

[Me Myself]

I needed something to suck the life away from me.

In a good way... I suppose :ninja:
