A quick question

[philosopherpira]

this only needs one answer and then we can get this thread out of everyone's way-

before entering this specific thread on the forum it reads below the link "theists only". Does that mean that only people who believe in God(s) in one form or another are allowed to post threads on this forum?

-Thanks

Yeppers. From the forum guidelines, "all theists interested in discussing these areas within the presuppositions of and respect for the Christian framework are welcome to participate here."

There are several other forums here where non-christian theists are welcome to participate.

However exceptions have been made in this forum if you want to put on a "christian theist" cap and discuss the topic granting christian precepts (sp?) So in other words, I'm sure an atheist could engage in a discussion on the topic of predestination, to argue points on how it works in various orthodox christianities, what makes sense, asking questions for understanding, provided he doesn't make an issue of the validity of orthodoxy, belief in God, and so on. Of course he's welcome to do that in forums designed for it at theologyweb, but here most basic christian beliefs are to be taken for granted as true.
