Welcome, JACG! Christianity I have no particular problem with except I think it's incorrect about a lot of things, but I think that about most philosophies and religions...and most Christians do, too. I do have a problem with ChristianISTS (like Islamists) because they want the government to endorse, promote, recognize, and finance their religion. I think strict secularism benefits religion and non-religion alike and that Christianists getting their way would not only be terrible for atheists and minority religions, in the long run it would be terrible for Christianity, too. Christians who aren't Christianists...generally I get along with them like I do anyone else, based on their individual attitudes and personalities.
I DO dislike bad arguments, or, if you prefer, I like bad arguments only for the pleasure it gives me to destroy them. It doesn't matter whether the argument comes from a Christisn, atheist, Hindu, or whatever...but we get more Christians than Hindus here so sometimes some of them get the impression that it's their religion I have a problem with rather than the arguments they're using to support it.
