Just saying hello...

Hey. I've been visiting this site for a while, and normally have a look most days. So I thought I'd better get this going to become "fully-fledged!" There's loads of great reads on here, and really knowledgeable people. I have a lot of general interests over a wide range of subjects, but mainly what I've said on my profile. I'd say I'm an open minded skeptic, but with a real desire to actually believe, just not finding myself able to! I do feel there's a lot that goes on, politically, spiritually, and in all walks of life that we do not know about, and probably never will. Though I'm not quite as extreme as some threads and posts I've read on here!! Basically, easy going, willing to listen to anyone's opinion, and love a good debate. I've also noticed a real surge in my compassion levels and love for real human and animal beauty, which of course is lost a lot in the current day and age! Enough of me droning on, and look forward to more good reads. All the best to you all...!!

Great opening!

I like you already. Especially that you highlight appreciation for the beauty of this world.

I wouldn't "try" to believe anything.. The least beliefs you can get away with the better, and then just fill in the gaps, for a time with (take your pick)..

Hope you enjoy it here.

Welcome! I hope you have a good time here in ATS
