I'm in my fifties too. Hello and welcome!

Hello again, thanks for welcoming me. I joined this site cause of an essay I wrote recently in colloge. Oh yea, by the way, we do have mountains in colorado. Colorado Springs has everything were on the pikes peak front range. Anyway,.. I joined after an essay I wrote about Blind Faith in religion and how dangerous it is for the world.But the essay was mostly about my dad,being a christian(completely devoted,brainwashed) and my mom an athiest. How my dad left to be with Jesus and all his faith. Im neither religious or athiest.
Im really tired of people arguing and wasting energy debating over god and the bible and Ive always had a common sense theory that allows a god and science. To prove there is a god or not is impossible but these brain dead bible thumpers wont listen to anything. But I do listen to both sides and remain bias.

So, Ive been doing my homework to back up my theory of electromagnetic energy and how it seems to be the only scientific, and spiritual link that would explain alot. So I searched for a place I could find open minds and get some feed back on it. I'd really enjoy hearing what others have to say and my hopes are the theory would at least give something to talk about. I know it sounds like a long shot but what else is there?

Its crazy to think I could change the world, but if people would at least entertain any idea outside the box , and if enough people talked about it, who knows? There has to be some catalyst that exists to make both sides at least agree onsomething .Im not sure this is where I start talking about it, or if anyone is even interested in hearing it. Or if its already out there ,I would like to be part of going a new direction.

Im lost in this site.Its huge. I might not even find my way back to this page.LOL! Anyone interested?

Hi from Montreal and Welcome to ATS, Amestang !

Like you, in my fifties, my father was also a fanatic Christian...

I am sure some members would like to hear about your essay, perhaps I might suggest making a thread in the Psychology, Philosophy & Metaphysics Board and see how it goes? Here's a link:

Have fun & enjoy !!

Thanks again for the warm welcome. I tried that link but it wont let me start a new thread .I like some of the profiles on here though.
The link Philosophy and Meta,.. has some interesting conversation topics and I'm guessing a person could easily get lost for days, or at least hours. I'm looking forward to exploring, learning, and hopefully helping anyone I can. I'm no expert on religion or science technically, but Im very familiar with blind faith (Ostrich's) and I want to see if I can help. If I can make a difference in at least one soul, then all my reseach and work will be very rewarding.

Thanks again
