And I do mean the right to open threads that mirror the kind of extended attempts to prove god or a particular religion correct that are allowed here. I'd like some links if anyone has them.
I won't be surprised if there aren't such forums. Religious forums appear to exist to support not question faith so it's not surprising extended questioning is frowned upon.
Googling has so far lead me only to forums with rules like this:
Quote:CCF does not exist to support or to enable general attacks on the Faith, or non-Catholic proselytizing. Extended non-Catholic lectures, and lists of disputed doctrines too lengthy to reasonably address at one time, are disallowed. Links to non-Catholic sites that include such lectures or lists are similarly disallowed. Moderator discretion will determine whether a given post or site is appropriate.http://www.catholicforum.com/forums/faq....q_aup_faq_
Quote:Questioning Church teachings or disciplines is certainly not a problem, providing it is within a context of attempting to understand our faith.http://www.catholicforum.com/forums/show...-Teachings
Christian? Any suggestions?
Jenny-
About two months ago, I called the president of Catholic Answers, Christopher Check, to discuss what was a long-standing ban on Atheist threads. I was connected to his personal assistant's voicemail instead.
HOWEVER, about a week later, she called me back and told me that the ban on atheist threads had been discussed and lifted. I announced that here in a thread that has been locked (and my OP deleted). (I understand why that happened, and I'm okay with it. I'm simply recounting what happened.)
So, you should have no problem at CAF in the Philosophy, Apologetics and Non-Catholic Religions subforums.
One more point, due to problems with spammers from India or somplace like that, new member registrations are only accepted M-F during normal business hours Pacific Time.
See ya there!
