Raymond Claus is a 34 year old man who was married and had two children. He worked happily as a Dentist with a small practice in the city of Munich, Germany. That was before the disease hit no one saw it coming it came out of nowhere they say it started in Greenland and spread all over the world killing almost everyone. Unfortunately the disease wasn't the only thing that appeared strange creates which Raymond had come to call Ashers as they appeared to be creatures made out of pure ash. However they could be killed like any other creature and Raymond had been fighting them off in order to keep his family safe however his efforts were in vain. His son Max died first the disease took him and he was forced to bury his own child not long after that his daughter Klara was kill by one of the ashers before he could help and was forced to bury another on of his children finally the disease took his beloved wife Melinda. Her death changed Raymond. So plagued with grief Raymond sets out to find a purpose any purpose to exist on this god forsaken planet he has inherited. However the deaths of his family still haunt him and he is slowly losing his grasp on reality only time will tell if he can maintain his sanity and find a place in this new world he has been given.

Thanks for the welcome guys hope to see you around the forums 

No we never have but i have read a few posts of yours though before i was never really active on the forums mostly would just put a sarcastic comment every once in a while lol. nice to officially meet you though thanks for the welcome.

Hello everyone im Dragonanth real names Anthony but most people call me Anth and i love dragons hence the name lol. Im not exactly new to the site infact ive been here for almost two years and most of that time was spent re-reading eternal and necromancer. Was never really active in the forums so i figured i may as well reintroduce myself mainly because i entered the recent story game contest and wanted to get a feel for my competition XD. But in all seriousness i hope to get to talk to all of you on the site and see you around on the forums happy writing. 

nah just means you prefer Jewish people to catholics lol

Definitely sounds like your interest in this topic is for academic purposes and my recommendation for you would be to study religion away from the actual faith itself the answers you are seeking can be found online or in plenty of books therefor there is no need for you to be questioning peoples faith because in all honesty most of the people you are going to ask are not going to be any help as they probably don't know why they follow the religion they do either besides being born into it and the ones who do know what they are talking about are usually to defensive about it to even try to discuss it with an atheist.

I don't believe his intent was to change a persons way of thinking i think he was just trying to learn more about the religion itself

When dealing with things such as a persons faith you have to be really careful with how you approach them and how you begin that conversation. You have to be even more cautious approaching that topic as an atheist as many religious people have a very strong dislike of atheists, some worse than others depending on were you live in the world. If you are truly interested in learning more about why religious people believe what they do i would recommend asking either a religious official that you know and trust, as you said you used to be a Christian i would assume that you went to church growing up so perhaps you can ask the pastor or priest. If that doesn't work for you theres always the internet and there are lodes of intellectual debates on this topic if you know were to look for them.
