Gman,
No one is harsh for you being an atheist, the point is it appears that you have already made your mind up.
That
doesn't mean that I like how I've made up my mind, or
the choice I had taken.
So what is the point of debating you?
Debates being for only-Christians
doesn't sound rational or reasonable too me.
I can understand wanting to keep these board's in check, but
I'm not here to just debate.
If that would be the case,
you wouldn't find me saying 'I agree', or 'I won't decline (place something here)',
and I most likely
wouldn't consider what a Christian has said.
Cactus brought up something too me, I've found it interesting, but
the debate wasn't fruitless or unnecessary to be reading in my personal opinion.
I
haven't offered or demanded that anyone debate me, and I'm careful with what I add to my posts.
I'll leave it on the shoulder's of the Christian to make the point of the debate, I'm not the social butterfly type.
Anyone could respond to your questions and it would 'automatically' be called false by you.
Not necessarily.
Dodging the questions would be rude, but I'm willing to be patient. If I see that something is '
false', I'll take the time to correct it.
I've displayed this in a few of my posts already. Also, if I'm
'wrong': other members have permission to correct me as well.
I don't see the point of Jesus' willing death, for example, but I'll be glad if someone can show me '
the point' of that atonement.
Of course they'll have challenge, and so will I. I find it quiet fun, but
I'm not pressuring anyone to debate with me or answer my questions
- even though I may send polite requests. You're hypothesis could be proven quiet easily, however
the evidence shows otherwise.
'This board is not for those who have strongly made up their mind that Christ is 'not' for them;
who merely wish to put down, debate, and argue against essential Christian beliefs.'
I haven't 'strongly' made up my mind, and doing those things aren't my only 'wish'.
If you don't like our guidelines perhaps there is another board you would like to join.
I like it here, but there has to be some sort of mutual relationship before anything gets too out of hand.
There are many out there.
Yes there are. Does that mean I like them all? nope.
According to the guidelines, there is nothing wrong with me being here. (see above).~SC
