Sounds notoriously like CF, Christian Forums. I was only there for two weeks and I got a 3-day ban. I was told that I had a record number of complaints against my posts. Many of my posts were deleted. In one thread, someone mentioned Bart Ehrman's New Testament. I said I had read it and it was from that book that the idea that Jesus was an apocalyptic zealot was floated. The moderator who gave me the 3-day ban told me that it was against CF rules to denigrate Christ who is God. But I didn't denigrate Christ. I only said that was what Ehrman said. So, if I said Dawkins wrote a book that siad there was no God, I'd be an atheist?
But it's true I also wrote that the Bible contained errors, untruths and even lies. But I felt if they didn't agree with me, they should engage me in a debate. I told them I was an honest Christian and they were furiious. They said I implied that those who say the Bible contained no errors and lies were dishonest. Actually, it's not just an implication. I do believe it. They're either very ignorant or dishonest.
So, I searched for another forum. I found atheist.com first but it was hard to register. There was some bug in it. And then I found this which seems quite a nice forum.
