I'm confused, if that is all it is here for why are you here? If we are just bullies why are we friends with you?
Well that's really not fair. I never said that's all AF is here for and I definitely never said you're all just bullies.
I was specifically referring to the religious section of the forums. And I wasn't even referring to what it was made for. I was referring to how it has mostly been used.
If you look through the threads on that section, I don't think it's fair to deny that several of them are simply made to mock or make fun of or point out the wrong doings of religious folks. And for those threads that weren't started with that intention, a look through the posts in them will show that many turn out that way.
Also, I wasn't the only person to say that. Homeless Nutter back on page 1 responded in a similar way. No one told him he's wrong.
I'm not hurt by this or anything, by the way. Neither am I complaining, and neither do I think anyone is a bully or a bad person for doing it. I was answering the newby's question in the way I've seen it. I don't think this is the right place for her to be asking religious questions, and as Jesster correctly said, she'd be better off going to a Christian forum with those.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
