Rational defense of Christianity?

[watchamadoodle]

Sometimes I see a post by a Christian who seems to know all the information and arguments that led me to atheism, but that person identifies as a Christian. I'm curious about how these people make that work, but if I try to ask questions, I usually get accused of breaking the forum's rules (maybe even blasphemy )

Is anybody aware of a forum with lots of rational Christians where the rules are reasonable? (Atheist forums usually have reasonable rules, but the few Christians who inhabit them are weird - sorry I don't know a nicer way to describe them. )

I am unaware of a rational theistic forum where atheists can discuss intelligently and without a million nonsensical rules in place preventing us from discussing anything except the ridiculous mantra Jesus is great.

All the ones I found had a blasphemy rule.

They're willfully stupid.

Remember god hates smart people so. I will study and become smarter and question everything. Because being smart has way more benefits than being the fool with a poor education.

I've been wondering this as well. I've looked around but most have rules that strongly hint that they can delete or ban you for not agreeing with them. Even in the open debate area those rules are there. I have no interest in going into such a place.

It was easy getting banned from atheism + and other christian sites because i disagreed with a members over really ethical opinions. The christian forum sites were full of pretty messed up people....

I've got no interest at all. What would I gain by being exposed to the usual apologetic arguments that I can just as well read here? I'm also not a missionary being interested in converting anyone, which would be a futile endeavor anyway if even established science isn't up to the job.
