`Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,' I said, `art sure no craven.
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore -

Might as well revive this with my new introduction.

Anyways my name is Ravynne. You can call me Rai, Ravy, or Tsuki. Yes I'm the same Rai as LadyTsukiyo and Godslayer_Rai. I've had the odd habit of getting new accounts once a year or once every two years. Especially when one accounts been banned or might be banned. I'm very blunt and people don't like my bluntness and think I'm trolling >.>

Anyways in the past 2 years I've also had the habit of going back to Christianity, and going to being an eclectic neo-pagan mainly because my home life isn't exactly all gum drops and lollipops. I'm a victim of verbal abuse, psychological abuse and emotional abuse all courtesy of my mother. The recent changes of switching religions are normally caused by the constant "You're not a true Christian because you don't believe xyz" and normally strikes a cord with me and causes me to flashback to how my mom's treated me. Which has caused me to disbelieve that God loves me, because of my strained relationship with my mom. (Which has lasted since I was 6. Yeah.)

What caused me to come back was just talking to a Hypistarian minister who is a good friend of mine on imvu. She showed me the kind of unconditional love that God would show all of his children (including non-believers), so she ultimately was the one who did the unthinkable and actually converted me without intending to. (That was the week before Thanksgiving, and she went AWOL ever since .___.)

As far as what I believe, yes I accept Christ as my savior. Yes I believe and worship YHVH. No I don't accept the Trinity (no historical basis of it, and the fact that it was a pagan thing adapted into Christianity during the councils of Nicea and Trent.) No I don't follow the Bible as if it controls every waking moment of my life; it's a guide. No I don't go out of my way to witness to people, if people want to know about Christianity, they can privately message me. I'll talk about Christianity casually, but it's not my job to convert people. No I don't memorize the whole Bible, I do however read whole chapters, understand the main idea, and actually understand the historical context and will paraphrase. ( I have a bad memory so my memorization skills are actually pretty bad). I think the LGBTQA community should marry who they want and be who they want, God made them the way they are so that's good enough for me. I defend all of my friends, Christian and non-Christian. I just have the bad luck of my friends fighting with my other friends and getting thrown in the middle. I love everyone equally. I follow Jesus more than I follow priests and pastors (I don't follow holy men at all really) I don't go to church, instead I go to Christian rooms on imvu, talk to other Christians on Gaia, and pray within the semi-sancity of my room. I still have an interest in Tarot and the occult. I like ankhs and pentacles. And I research other religions. All of these things according to more..orthodox Christians, I suppose would think of me as a false Christian. To be honest, I'm not a good Christian. I don't try to be. I love Christ, I'm bound to him. All these things just make me a heretic which makes me happy.

I like anime, manga, video games, music (most of it people declare is secular. But even secular songs can venerate Christ in a way if you look at songs deeply.) I don't like most Christian music because it doesn't grasp my attention and some of it is just too bland. (I can be quite the music critic). I like guro, Gothic Lolita, Punk Lolita, Victorian Goth, Industrial, and Avande Garde fashion. I like violence. I'm just overall weird, and very blunt. You get used to it razz

Also in a previous post I said you can use my real name, for the sake of your fingers please call me Rai, Ravy, or Tsuki. It's easier. Lol.

And this is probably going to be the longest introduction post ever. .__.

Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

Hmm, a new introduction is a stellar idea after the long inactivity I had. It's good you thought of it...I mean, it's a good thing I came up with the idea!

Well let's see, I am Lord Maxdom, but you can simply call me Max or Tolvo. I prefer Tolvo. People sometimes like to call me Dom, but I almost never respond to it. I just never realize people are talking to me when I say it, so if you do call me Dom don't feel bad if I don't respond. I probably had no idea that you were talking to me.

I have been a person of knowledge and understanding for quite some time now, and my reason to be in this guild is no different. I exist here simply to chat with Christians and understand them as people better. Sure, I read everything I can on religion to study it. But why listen to some 30 year old man who interviewed one guy, when I can simply talk to all of you and do my own interviews and understand the Christians personally. Also, if you do ask me about what religious beliefs I may(Or may not) have I most likely will avoid the question. This is simply because I believe that such views of mine will be irrelevant, and honestly it might take a while to explain anyways. I'm here to understand you all anyways, if you have questions about any religions though do feel free to ask me. I may not(Or might) belong to a vast number of religions, but I do feel quite confident in my ability to inform people of them. I don't mean conversion or anything, but if people have questions about their beliefs, traditions, morals, etc. That is the sort of stuff I study.

Away from my studies and the religious aspect of me, I am a gamer at heart. I have many nerdy passions, which do include an undying love for Star Wars. I love to read, write, and I even do draw when I get the chance to. I have odd fixations on certain objects, foods, etc. One example being the crazy amount of things I would do for a blueberry pie. Or the fact that typically I will talk with a person a lot if they wear a red tie. Other than that I'm a semi-normal human being, I breath oxygen, I love, and I get depressed. Thank you for reading this, sorry for the length of it. That's the final thing about me, I love to ramble.

Well, welcome to both of you, if you haven't been formally welcomed yet to the guild. 3nodding I have the feeling that with you two in the guild, we'll probably have lots of interesting discussions. I'm not really a fan of "by the book" people anyway, so no worries about not being "a good Christian" or whatever. 3nodding

Hello, my name is RequiemArc, I go by Req most often but feel free to come up with your own variations if you like. As I grew up I was fascinated by other cultures and beliefs and learned to question everything. I consider myself a Non-denominational Christian and am very curious as to how other Christians view their own religion, others, and the relationship of how all of those fit into the world.

As for my own beliefs, feel free to ask me about them if you would like to know.

I'm Brittnay, or TD.
I'm in Texas, and currently trying to get into college.
I'm about to be nineteen, my birthday in in October.

I'm pretty shy and quiet, I have a few close friends and I like video games. =)
I'm not all that great with words so I'm going to keep this short, sweet, and to the point... sweatdrop

I go to a Baptist church and a Non Denominational church.
I don't label myself, I just go where God tells me to go.
I go to the Baptist church on Sundays and the Non Denominational on Wednesdays.

I collect Pokemon cards, old game consoles, and dragons. =o
I guess thats it...

Ello' I'm Zolof Ultarium Septimium, i am 16 and attend the local college. I'm a quiet Christian with a passionate love for music, and debate. I love to debate with other people about things, which i guess, you could say, is why i'm here. I suffer from a severe overuse of comma's which you can probably see. I was raised as a Christian, but have since questioned my beliefs to the point where i stopped believing, or so i thought, but now i am a striving to be good God-respecting Christian.

Hello I have recently found God again. I was in choir when I was younger but then got caught up with a bad crowd and drank and all.
I am so happy that I have God in my life.

I’m not sure if I'm new or not, but I haven't been on Gaia in forever and I joined this guild a long time ago so here we go...My name is Andrea and I am 22yrs old and I became a Christian in the 9th grade thanks to two amazing and god loving youth pastors who showed me what living for God truly meant. This doesn't necessarily mean my journey with God has been perfect and bumpless because I have made plenty of mistakes after mistakes and thankfully God is forgiving God. I wanted to join this guild to help me in my journey in growing continuously closer to God and to also help me deal with some issues of vulnerability and to also find a community online that I can turn to when needed. I also want to be able to lend my experiences and support to other Christians that may need it to help them grow in their journey to get closer to God. I hope everyone has had a wonderful day and I look forward to getting to know everyone : )

Oh I am also in the search of a new church at the moment because I just recently moved, but I consider myself nondenominational...I believe we shouldn't let the little things keep us apart. : )
