Wouldn't it be crawling with Jesus lovers asking questions of us and telling us that without their Jesus, we're all damned?

Princess, they say we're going to Hell all the time. You know it. Heck, you even believe yourself, I'm sure.

I would read, but not post unless a question specifically asked for a response from a Christian.
As to whether the site would be overrun with believers, I respectfully disagree.
It is curious to me that you very rarely see any forums dedicated to non-belief that are inundated by believers spewing catch phrases or other rhetoric. Yet virtually every unmoderated forum on the internet dealing with religious topics is full of detractors. Non-believers have become increasingly shrill of late, apparently hoping that saying something more loudly and more dogmatically will make it seem more credible, especially to their embattled supporters. Believers have nothing to fear from this hostile rhetoric, unpleasant through it may be. Hopelessly overstated arguments that once seemed so persuasive such as "science disproves God" have lost their credibility, becoming mindless slogans, where once they were cutting-edge ideas. The non-believer's rhetoric is about preaching to the converted, shoring up a collapsing building with rhetoric rather than rigorous argument.
Please review:

And you will see that there is very little participation by believers.

I would probably visit just for curiosity's sake. I don't personally KNOW any athiests, so online is the only place we can connect to discuss issues.
I'm not into telling people they are "damned", btw. I've never known it to be an effective witness. Besides, I know some "church people" that fit that description as well! I would have to start telling off a LOT of people, and I simply have better things to do with my time than that!
Should I bring coffee, or tea?

If a Chrisitan said that athiests are all damed than that wouldnt be a very good or sincere Chrisitan.
I think tht alot of Christians would go there to try and convert ahtiests because thats what they feel like they are supposed to do
I myself would stay away from it, because you cant make some listen if they dont want too.
Pushing it in their face only makes them turn away.

Trouble with most Christian is they threaten people to damnation if they don't convert. first of all threats don't draw a person to you. next, we all gotta practice what we preach before we even try to ask them to join us because why would you want to join something when it's in chaos?
Sorry if lots have threatened you on that, Jesus isn't that kind of guy. It's about time we start spreading the love like we were taught to.

Yes they would go there it's an easy place to find the sinners. Like now the just go to the gay and lesbians section and harrass them. Why do they feel the need to dp this? Why can't they just answer questions honestly and stop being so dang pushy.

I would go on it, just to see what you guys (assuming you are an atheist or whatever) are saying. and if you are greatly misunderstanding the Christian faith, I would email/respond to you.
also, nobody can tell you that you are or anybody is damned. at least in the Catholic church that is reserved for God, because only God knows what is/was really going on in that persons soul.

I don't know. Personally, I believe in Jesus, but I know very well that you aren't going to convince anyone just by saying that they're damned. Then again, it seems as though not many other believers know that.

They would go here to taunt and tease, just like we athiests pester them here in their forum. It get a little boing just conversing with people who think just the way you do, even about Jesus and God.
