I joined this forum because I am taking a break from another forum where I have been a regular member for many years. When I joined and began to post here, I discovered that a friend from that other forum was also on this forum.
I am an old dog who will not learn any new religious tricks, meaning that I am stuck in my atheistic ways. I can respect different religious viewpoints, even though I may find them unnecessary. Being more introverted than what could be considered the average, online interaction is the only social life I have; the internet is an amazing thing, allowing one who is rather antisocial to be capable of socializing.
No, this isn't one of those existential threads that discusses the meaning of life and what our purpose is here on earth. I'm afraid the purpose of this thread is much more mundane. I'm genuinely curious as to what makes people join a religious forum and stick around.
For me, I find that I joined RF as a result of my desire to further my spiritual education and work toward enlightenment. I find that reading insights of those of other paths gives me insight that I hadn't considered. I also enjoy having my statements questioned *glances at @Sunstone* because it prompts me to reflect on my beliefs and do further research into why I believe as I do. I will admit that another reason I stick around is for the pure entertainment value. There are those here that amuse me for various reasons.
So why do you hang out here?

No kidding!Sure, the Admins and Mods are biased one way or another
No kidding!
The first time I got a warning was my first post. It was for proselytizing Christianity. Catholicism, to be specific.
The irony....
It burns!

I give thanks to this forum, which has provided me with a really good overview of so many religions. I actually do spirit world activities, so my attempts to communicate seem to be offensive to most, here and elsewhere, because of a lack of frame of reference. I have learned to follow the inward path. I found a forum that has some, who are working on perfecting their energy bodies (spirit bodies), and who Journey/spirit quest within the world of spirits like I and a few others that I am loosely associated with. Thanks for asking.What exactly are you considering "like minded?"

Hey @Quintessence, ever see or read a fantasy/adventure story where one wizard is trapped by a curse to forever guard some some relic or realm until another sucker. . . I mean, um, another wizard comes along and inadvertently assumes the curse?I'm here because I'm the idiot who said "yes" when @Quagmire asked if I wanted to become an admin. In fairness to myself, I did think it over for a solid month.
