Is it possible to ask a fellow christians a question in the R+S catergorey, without non-believers and athiests putting us down in their judgemental tones?

No. They are going to interfer with what ever christians do. They thrive on putting us down,because they either don't understand or don't want to understand. Its just the devil doing his work. He wants the christian's to become discouraged and lose faith.

If there were way to do so, what would be the point of asking?
I usually give a thumbs down to anyone using namecalling - both believer and non. However, just because someone gives an opposing or even challenging opinion one shouldn't asssume they are judgemental.
Some are, to be sure. But so then are some Christians.
I very much enjoy the challenging questions. I count them among some of the best stepping stones to my own spiritual growth.

Here is my long winded story answer.
My aunt and uncle came to our house for dinner last night. They are christian, whereas my husband and I are atheist. I have never seen so much hate spewed forth than what came out of my uncles mouth last night.
When asked what should be done about immigration, he states land mines should be placed at the border so immigrants cannot enter without being killed.
When I explained to him that atheism is about believing in science and nature adn humanism and social justice, he told that was not a ggod thing, that one has to believe in his god to be a good person.
There is a city near where I live that has a mayor that is black and gay. My uncle stated this is the worst thing that can happen, to have a subhuman hold a political office.
All the things coming out of his mouth made my stomach turn, they made me physically ill. And he says these things in the name of his god and his religion. He is also not the first fundamental christian that has said things of this nature.
So to answer your question, many of us are trying to do what is good for this world, and if it means trying to make you see the errors of your ways, so be it

Yes actually. I've seen quite a few questions that are directed at christians from christians that the other people here did not jump in and put us down. When you find one like that just chock it up to that person being rather trollish and move on. no big deal.

I've come to the conclusion that there is more athiests on here than christians, so i won't be using it anymore.

" If the world hates you, remember, it hated Me first".
Ask away pal, most non-believers always put their 2 cents in, but that's who we're here for, right?

It would be nice wouldn't it. What bugs me the most is when they ask sick and wrong questions and answer people with sarcastic answers.

Probably not but we need to just ignore them.
If we all totally ignored them they would go away.
Lets bore them to death !
