I have found people on this website help answer a lot of these questions. I am / was a christian. Even when I accepted christianity's answers to these questions, I never thought it was my job to impose my views on anyone else. Just because you have found the answers to your questions does not mean they are right, they are just right for you. I know your bible says to teach everyone about your god. It does not say be belligerent and seek out forums of like minded people to try to convert everyone who answers their questions different from you.
I know it is healthy to see both points of view. That is why I came to this site. It was to hear an atheist point of view. Keyword here the verb hear. Not change. There are websites that promote other religions. I have been to many of them, yet I never once tried to change any of their answers. I just was looking to see if they answered MY questions. They didn't so I moved on.
This community seems to be very positive and open to people. I just wonder why other people find the need to be such a-holes when it comes to how I answer my questions?
I admire your approach. Of course we all get in touch with our inner asshole from time to time. That can get messy. At times the shit will really hit the fan. But so long as we achieve a settled preference to stay out of there there is hope.
