Apologetics 301 Guidelines

If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you


This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

    Actually, there are some examples of harm within religious that most of both would agree in. On the religious side, those who engage in self-harm or harm of others--from snake-handling to suicide bombers. On the non-religious side, those so absorbed in nihilism can go to the same extremes.

    Christianbookworm said it best. Humans can be mean jerks towards each other.
    Yep

      And yet... what does your attitude here reflect?

        Sure it does; you just don't like all the evidence against your opinion and it is thus dismissed as such. As for not 'taking me seriously' you say that, but yet... what made you feel the need to make a response to something that had nothing to do with you? Right... keep telling yourself whatever you want yourself and other to believe. Maybe it might become true, sooner or later.

          the golden rule has a differently applicability in the context of real life, surely you know this because you use that word often.

          I would rather that you show your feelings than feign nicety. continue to be who you are. you don't offend me.
