They need differing opinions, and for that they have plenty on a myriad of topics. The most productive reason for having Christians on an atheist forum, is to allow them to vent their hatred on. Do you still wonder why you feel ganged up on? It's called being in the minority and it doesn't make you a victim because you choose to be here. Since, as a Christian, I don't feel ganged up on regularly, perhaps this has nothing to do with your beliefs, but more to do with your persona?
actually, if your beliefs were as they are supposed to be.. and if you took a hard line in the sand on certain topics. you too would be chew up and shat out like the other dozen or so christians who all left a few years ago all at the same time. again maybe your too new to remember people like catholic lady and froods and there was another who all told me if i just stoked a few egos and as you said work on my personality, they would all come around.. the truth of the matter is these guys/atheists (some) are crazy smart. smart than most christians. way smarter than anyone willing to compromise any part of their beliefs. they will start out with things that any christian does not see as a mandate to be a christian. dietary law holy-days worship ect.. looking for common ground to be buddy buddy with you.. then over time start to press in on christian matters, just when you think you have a friend.. then they will chip and chip at your beliefs to either you stand up and say no, that a sin (at which point they turn on you and treat you no differently than they treated me.) which was devastating to some of the kinder hearted people.
or you compromise and continue to do so till you are christian by name only.. I know this because there were at least 12 christians and we talked alot about how things went down, who since left here and again 3 or 4 of which were the nicest people who compromised way way too much and way too often for my beliefs, but they thought they could convert a friend... they were right, they just did not think they were the friend...
so again sport if you missed it in the op, and again here this is not about me alone. this was one of the best websites because of it's diversity, and freedom to express... and now it's fading fast.. as far as your own person experience in not having issue with these guys at all. you must be hotter and better mannered than catholic lady, funnier than froods and smarter than that other guy.. or your beliefs are not a threat to them as they align themselves with what they believe. ( at which point you become the token joke) We are told this world is not our home we are told if we follow god our ways will not be their ways, and if they did not spare his son they would not give us quarter/spare us. if you have found quarter/mercy with those who are of this world.. then perhaps you should take another look at your connection to god...
