Dearnear Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Hello everyone! I am Dearnear. I thought I would use Dearnear for my nickname. Dearnear means that many good things seem to be near me. I love the name of this website, which is "ex-christian". That makes me feel good. I hope everyone on this site have a great day. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, you're from Korea -- maybe from Seoul? And this is your first posting. Are you working with your cellphone translator or do you speak some English. So were you a Christian when you were younger. I live in southern California and there's a Korean Christian church just a block from me. Hope you enjoy the holiday season and this website. cheers on your very first posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am confused. The description under your icon says you believe in God, but you are happy to be at ex-christian. Has something been lost in translation?

You most certainly belong here. We are all ex-christians; but we all have different paths now. Some of us are atheist, some still believe in a god.

Yes, it is hard posting in a second language. As you know, things do not always translate word for word so some of your intended meaning can be lost or misinterpreted.

And I do like Cats and other animals. I don't eat any of them since I am one of them And a Lunar New Year will be better when we have some very permanent colonies there in the coming years.

Super Moderator TheRedneckProfessor Posted January 14 Super Moderator Share Posted January 14 @Dearnear, do you celebrate Mr. Kitchen going to heaven, in Korea? It's a special holiday in Vietnam and other parts of Asia. If so, happy Mr. Kitchen Goes To Heaven Day. If not, I wish you health, happiness, and good fortune anyway.

I have never heard of Mr. Kitchen and his going to heaven. Was he a chef? Do Vietnamese people use his recipes to make food? Thank you for good wishes. It's so heart warming.
