Mainly you find yourself defending or arguing with the Atheists that is why I see so many christians leaving this site.
I asked Atheists many questions, not to fire an attack twoards them but to see how they see the world and people.
You can't even talk about current world events and how they pertain to scripture or End Times without being attacked from all sides of Unbelievers.
Is this site becoming a Site for Atheists and Pagans because I see less and less Christian and even jewish and muslim posters?

Sweetie, I've seen you launch countless attacks and insults aimed ot atheists. Don't even TRY to act innocent on that one.
As for pointlessness, yes. If you only come here with the hopes of converting people and having a bunch of mindless sheep singing praises to Jesus, then I guess it would be useless.

No.
1. Hopefully,other Christians get scriptural answers to their questions (many times).
2. In Christ kingdom 'purity rules' not 'majority rules'. If this site is helpful to others (even a minority, itis beneficial.
3.I realize that all 'Christians' may not be 'perfect' in this life (or on Y). what does 'bother me' though,is the 'status quo' attitude of many. Perhaps 'we Christians' are not cleaning up 'Christianity'; therefore the atheists,agnostics, pagans, etc, do not see Christ in us, but do see the illogical' part ofus presently.

As a Christian, my problems are with other fellow so-called Christians. Athiests dont bother me, when theyre answering a question they are providing their opponion, which is what everyone is entitled to. I have never heard an athiest tell me if I dont 100% agree with them then I am going to Hell, that their view is the one and only correct way. Plus athiests are more acceptable towards others of different religions, Christians constantly try to put down other people's religions. Basically fellow Christians on this R&S site are making me seriously thinking about leaving the faith, because the faith isnt supposed to be like this, filled with so much hatred and bigotry and intollerence.

Anything is only as useful as you allow it to be. From what I've seen of your questions, though, you're not the best individual to be saying this...
Also, if nothing else, Christians can learn other perspectives here so that the "Other" isn't quite so unknown and exotic.
Lastly, the way you worded that final sentence, particularly "a Site for Atheists and Pagans," would typically put you under the "bigot" category.

You view it as an attack when someone proves your beliefs are ridiculous.
But it is not an attack. You are simply in the wrong. And you seem like the type that could potentially admit that eventually. I hope we've at least given you reason to revisit your beliefs, and come to understand WHY you believe what you do.
If you critically examine your beliefs, honestly, you'll see them for what they are as well.... false.
But right now, you're in the anger phase. I was the same way at first. It does make you angry. But the anger will pass. Enlightenment will follow.

You're not being attacked, your point is being questioned, not just agreed with like a robot. Just because you think it's then end of the world doesn't make it true and we are pointing out the other side of the issue. That's how a real discussion takes place. You are more than welcome to respond back with more facts and proof at any time
If you want to ""talk" about world events with those who only agree, I suggest a christian forum

I am a Christian. . .and have been here for a little bit. I think part of enjoying this site is not taking everything so serious and personal. I have enjoyed some good exchanges between people of all different kinds of beliefs. There should never come a day when any of us think we know it all. . . .there is always something more to learn.

It's only pointless if you don't like debate or the dissemination of information. The fact that it makes people uncomfortable, makes people think, is good.
You're free to come and go as you please. I'm sorry if you feel that you are becoming a minority. However, I still see a clear majority of Christians here. I guess it might be a difference of perception.

I'm new and as far as I can tell it's almost all atheists and all they do is bash fundies,which doesn't really engage me positively or negatively. You are right about the lack of variety. I expected everything from Pagans to Bahais. Instead it's just a bunch of middle-aged liberals going on and on about all this 80's stuff - Moral Majority,school prayer,whatever. Reaaaaaly boring. I spend more time in P&S. It's like going back in time to 1987,and yeah,they certainly are obsessed with Christians. To put it mildly.

Nah...it's just as bad as the world is. I find that I can constantly stay in my "word" and keep sharpening my skills...as useless as my skills are. But it is another challenging way to keep yourself ready by knowing and remembering scriptures and doctrines.
Don't get so down...just realize where most of the world is answering from.
