Always fucking christians. You know that there are other theists as well. It's not a binary choice between atheism and christianity. Why didn't you post a thread asking "Overall, do you like theists being here?" There are also muslims, jews, buddhists, pagans, new agers etc.

 I know I've been an irritant to you, you have said so many times, but I've yet to see any pearly wisdom from you. Do I need to actually try and irritate you to hear a bit of wisdom, oh maybe I just did. Tongue

It's basically grouping everyone into a big group and then trying to judge them as a group rather than as individuals.  I prefer to look at individuals than groups.  When we group people together, in order to try to get a big picture, sometimes we miss out on the smaller pictures.

Does that include atheist?

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

As I said in the OP, the topic of Christians (specificaly) being here is currently a hot topic of discussion throughout the forums. So I wanted to know where people stand on that.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

*decloaking*

There really should be a ‘meh’ option. I’m indifferent to theists being here (or generally existing in the world). I like some, and pretty obviously dislike others, for various reasons, but it’s on a person by person basis.

RE: Overall, do you like Christians being here?
I was a Christian for two decades. It was everything I was. I had never developed any other characteristics besides being that devout Christian girl. I’m not saying all Christians are like that, but I sure was. When I left religion I was basically born again lol I started from scratch. Reading what Christians here have to say is sort of a walk down memory lane and while some of the things you say sound preposterous now, I like having you (Christians) around. I somehow feel that Christianity is the town in which I grew up. You see, I don’t have a hometown, since my parents moved us around to make churches here and there. So yeah. Christians are the people of the place in which I grew up.

"Theist" is probably too vague and "Christian" too specific.  Christians and Muslims would probably be about right since the issue for me is expecting respect without giving it, and no religion hell bent on proselytizing respects others.  Nor will they willingly coexist peacefully and productively and as peers with those who will not convert.
