I am a 15 year old South African living in Cape Town. I am a christian and I am a big fan of William Lane Craig and Lewis Carrol. I also do not believe that christianity is a religion (weird huh?) I'll be going into further details in later posts.
happy arguing!
You are young but I do have to warn you, many atheists here, maybe not all, but many here are going to kick the crap out of your claims. But please keep in mind, that it is strictly about a claim you make. We can like a person as an individual without liking every thing they might say.
And we don't just take on Christianity, we take on all the big ones, and I'll even take on an atheist if I feel that person is wrong on a given claim.
If you expect to survive here, my advice is to not take it personally, and treat all of us as individuals. Some here you will find like a library type discussion, and then others here, like me, don't mind a verbal brawl, IN DEBATE ONLY.
But no one here, not even me will hate a person merely because we might hate a claim they might make. None of us here can live on an island. All of us here have family and friends and co workers to some degree that have some sort of belief.
I even have it out with an atheist Libertarian on economic issues on another site. I like him, but I hate his economic views. So always understand, that in the end whatever we argue over, or the words we use, we are still the same species and the worst we can do is simply disagree.
Keep that in mind and you should survive here. We wont barbecue your kittens, or advocate your arrest, or set up a fascist state. But you did step into the "rival" camp, and your claims will get knocked around.
