Tentatively Christian; looking for a reasonable discussion

[Aoi Magi]

I understand your concern. When you ask something, those who have already faced that question many times might feel a bit frustrated and agitated and might respond a bit aggressively, but you'll face a similar attitude in every situation where you are coming in as a novice yet with an opposing viewpoint. However when you are trying to learn something, please don't take these to heart, rather know that everyone is trying to help you in their own way. Also instead of doing a 1-on-1 session, I would suggest posting your concerns openly because then you can get many different opinions and have a better chance at finding something that makes sense to you. Sure, I am nowhere near as experienced as some of the other members here, but sometimes the simplest words from the stupidest person can mean more than the most complex explanations of a brilliant mind.
