Wait a minute.  What about me?  I'm down with .. well .. whatever it might turn out to be, provided that something is natural and not something wacky.

Man, whateverists never get any respect from other sects.

Beyond the joking I wouldn't mind taking part as someone who believes in a source of meaning beyond our petty egos which while nebulous is nonetheless worthy of reverence.

I'd support you joining.

Up to Neo though!

How is this philosophy?

That's just were the debate forum is located. If there was a debate forum elsewhere it could go there. Besides, that area is rarely used.

If you'll have me, I'll join.

Obviously, I'm not a Christian. But I have no qualms with abiding by the rules of the thread/sub forum.

The Christian members have a common language, "church-speak", and recognize a shared authority, Holy Scripture. While I value the insights and contributions of atheist members like Whateverist and theists like MK, I anticipate that Christian specific concepts like the Great Commission will figure prominently. I think of this more as a panel discussion focusing on the subtle points of agreement and disagreement between Christian AF members without the distraction of large worldview differences.

That makes sense.

In those types of panels they usually have like 1 person that is an "outsider" for various reasons. Wouldn't that add to the entertainment factor? My vote is that we add Minimalist to the panel but obviously up to your christian panel who the one non christian is. Maybe also give the non christian panel member less power in the debate like 1 post every 2 days, etc

So for the rest of us it's basically like watching a Sitcom
