The reason I do not start threads that will be conversation pieces is because most atheist here do not want to have intelligent conversation about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit or the Bible, instead they want to insult and derail such conversations. I find most atheist do not know enough about the Bible to have those kinds of conversations, this is not intended as demeaning, it's just fact. They rely on Google or whatever to get as little info as they can to make comments. Using a verse or two for these kinds of conversations is inappropriate for these types of conversations. They also use what others say as fact whether they get it from the forum or the net, they do not know enough about scriptures to form their own opinions, believe me I've tried to get original ideas from them. Again I'm not saying any of this as demeaning, it's what I've observed over the last five years. So I would rather join in on threads where I find interest.

On the contrary, many of the atheists, agnostics, and others here know quite a bit about the bible. Some, such as myself, are former churchgoers and know about as much about the bible as any other person sitting in the pews on a given Wednesday or Sunday. As a matter of fact, I'd say that I didn't really start reading the bible critically until what little faith I had was gone.
