I would have more respect for the theists on this site if they occasionally disagreed with one another. Probably the real reason why they avoid certain topics is because it would hurt their so called witness to us heathens to disagree openly.
Back when I still believed in god, I used to hang out on a forum with posters from a wide range of backgrounds. The topic turned to one in which I just happened to agree with the nonChristians. Another Christian kept hammering away at a point and the other Christians on that forum either quietly left or reiterated his words...except for me. I got a pm from him explaining that I was hurting his witness to the nonChristians and that I should just either be quiet or go along with him. Christians, he wrote, should be united so they can win others to Christ.
