Casting your pearls before swine?

Actually I do, and I'm glad you asked this question. Having seen so much foolishness on this forum, I am leaving it for good. These are not serious questions here, this area is a place for joking and insulting God. You'll never see a featured question and answer from this area, never. The atheists privately communicate with each others to attack serious users here, so there is no point to this section.

Personally I think that it has become primarily a forum for bashing people who do not believe as you do and refuse to be converted. I think it should be for OPEN MINDED questions and not for preaching.
Example, someone asks a legitimate question about wicca, a Christian, who knows nothing except what they have been told, will jump in with "don't do it. it is of the devil and you will go to hell". That will have NOTHING to do with what was asked. If you have not done the research and truly know what they believe and why, keep it to yourself. Trust me, if you are asking a legitimate question ABOUT Christianity or scriptures, they are not going to respond by bashing what you believe without respect to the question.

Angelz, I think you have to realize that some people may be coming in here for answers to Christianity and to find out what they believe. But for every case like that, there are probably 50-200 cases of people on here who are just not interested in hearing the good news.

Well...that...and you have to remember this --->
Never wrestle with a pig; he enjoys it and you just get dirty.
This is one big mud wrestling pit for miscreants of all spiritual philosophies. Those with any real sense of peace, theology or maturity just shake their heads and walk on by...like a wreck on the highway. You really don't want to look....

Well it is very frustrating when I take the time to answer and it is a very good and true answer and then some yo-yo of an answer gets voted best. Kind of makes this section a joke.

Excuse the rest of the world, but Christians do not rule or make the rules for everyone.
As this list of Answers grows I have been counting. The aggresive or denigrating answers are for the most part written by Christians.

sometimes,just as a swine doesn't know the value of pearls,so reprobates do not know the value of the things of God,or the Gospel.all we can do is pray.

Not at all. I see it as a two-way learning opportunity. I can teach others about my faith, and I can also learn about the beliefs of others, including those who don't adhere to any beliefs at all. It's a great look at how many variations and opinions there are on belief.

Sometimes, yes. But, since this is an open forum I am hoping some good seeds are planted.

I would not call an unbeliever "swine". I try to be respectful and hope that someday they might change their minds.

I encourage my brothers and sisters in the faith to persist and defend your faith, this is spiritual warfare and if you depend on the Holy Spirit, Satan and his cronies will slowly but surely disappear.
