The Christian members we have seem to be nice, but their views are on the fringes of Christianity. I have encountered some very knowledgable Christians on other forums who know all about church history, psychology, philosophy, theology, etc. I don't even try to argue with those people, because I know I am out-classed. I wish they would join this forum and have discussions that I could watch.
Has anybody considered inviting Christians to join from other forums?
There lies a problem. Most mainstream Christians are uninterested in discussion of this type. They're fairly tolerant and respectful of atheists and wish no ill will towards them.
It's more of a shake the dust from their feet, and move on to those who can be saved. I have been asked many times, why do I waist my time here with you all by people of all different faiths.. The perception being you all are beyond hope..
I see something different as I came from where many of you are. I was angry and simply did not know any better, till someone explained it to me. Till someone was willing to answer my questions no matter what I asked...
Most of those guys take things at face value, and don't question beyond the point of comperhension. You all question to break or tear down belief. Because they do not question beyond basic comperhension means they are not equipt to answer your questions, as what they believe is not built in such a way to Handel such scrutiny.
Lucky for you, what I believe is, and I am willing to walk that extra mile.
