Hello, I am a Christian

[Angrboda]

Welcome Shadow.
Being a Christian or an Atheist makes one neither automatically stupid nor intelligent, and I'd like to think there are more options than that - it's a bit of a false dilemma, no?

I was reading through another thread here where Atheists were assuming a Christian, who they did not meet, was an "ignoramus."

I suppose I should have asked, is a Christian ignorant of the bigger spiritual, religious, theological picture, or are they ignorant for believing such a picture exists? Are Atheists ignorant of such a picture, or intelligent because they deny its existence?

I hope I am not breaking a forum rule by asking these things here.

The purpose of threads in the Introduction section of the forum is to allow a nice friendly meet n' greet. If you're going to ask such questions, where violence is likely to ensue, it's best to create a separate thread in another section of the forum, where guns, knives and weapons of mass destruction are permitted. Here we're supposed to check our weapons at the door.

Oh, and, "Howdy."
