How do purely theistic forums expect non-believers to have proper discussions regarding anything beyond praising Jesus to the point of inducing nausea?

Hmm, I assumed ChristianForums was just generally Christian and didn't enforce anything particular to one or more sects of Christianity. The rule to not promote homosexuality and even pre-marital sex would automatically negate the possibility of Christians from liberal denominations participating on the boards.

Christianity claims to have the answers to the ills of humanity, but when faced with the very disease their religion is supposed to cure, they won't even consider how to apply their medicine. It's like a doctor claiming to have great lifesaving skills, but running from surgery because he doesn't like blood and guts.

Hahahaha, I love that demon binding and exorcising are such big issues they made it into the rules.. Also, how is it possible to promote homosexuality, adultery or pre-marital sex? I'm guessing they count anything that says being gay or having sex out of marriage isn't that bad after all.

A couple of these are just standard for all forums. Like -- don't promote illegal actions and don't give professional advice without a license to do so. The rest are religious nuttery.

But these are nothing compared to the draconian lunacy from the Rapture Ready forums:

I would not last past my introduction thread on a theist forum, for the introduction thread alone would most likely be enough to get me banned.

Seal the exits! They're getting away!
How paranoid these theists are indeed.

I've been a member of that forum since 2008. From my experience it is not really geared towards evangelism and out reach although there are some limited efforts made in that direction. I was told it was a 'safe place' for Christians can come together and discuss ideas and given topics without the threat of trolls, and other trouble makers.

Which is why I also set up camp here, where the trolls live.
