Tentatively Christian; looking for a reasonable discussion

RE: Tentatively Christian; looking for a reasonable discussion

At the moment, I'm coming from basically a Christian perspective, but I am open to being convinced otherwise and looking to discuss the issues with someone.

To be honest, I'm a bit intimidated by the environment of the forum here. My fear is that if I try to have a serious, full-scale, in-depth discussion in this medium, I'll quickly be overwhelmed and bombarded. I don't want to be unable to reply adequately simply because of the quantity of messages by people disagreeing with me. I'd rather be able to discuss fairly back-and-forth, without being terrifically outnumbered. (which would make it impractical to adequately respond to everyone)

To that end, I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in starting a 1-on-1 correspondence with me? (hopefully it is not too out of place to request that) I'm looking for someone who is willing to be reasonable and civil, and help talk through the questions and issues I'm wondering about.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys!

Welcome, GriffinHunter! I recommend you spend some time establishing a good reputation here as a good contributor. It will help you to have productive interactions. We get a lot of irritating people here, to the point that it pays to show you're not one of them early on. Just my two cents.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
