I ask because many I've talked to don't want to hear a word against it - but what if the discussion is interesting and ideas are presented that may have never been considered - on both sides of the debate?
Why I'm posting this:
I had posted yesterday and cited a video that gave me a lot to think about in regards to Christianity. I saw it as interesting and expected it to generate some healthy debate but I think it was viewed as an attack. The gentleman in the video IS a little angry and cynical, but I found it difficult to disagree with most of his points. Anyway, for those interested, the video is here: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=BsKgDNp9IoE

Sure, I will have a discussion with you about our beliefs.
You can e-mail me (it's posted on my profile page).
I love learning.

Whatever you are: Did you know the when you sabotage Christianity it is a form of child abuse? My children were raised to be free thinkers and open minded, fully able to make these decisions for themselves. I taught my children both (Christianity and Science (Evolution). You can raise a critical minded, verbally abusive, blind adult if you like. It's a free country and I plan on exercising my constitutional rights.So swallow all the pills you need to. Christianity is here to stay. Keep putting those great science programs on television. I watch everyone of them.

most "debates" on here are "attacks" from what I have seen.... I do not "debate" my "Faith. There is nothing to "debate"... I know The Truth and The Facts that are necessary. If you do not believe then that is your business... I can not, and would not even try, to change your mind. Only God can do that.
I have never met one of The True Christian Faith who tried to :"force" The Faith upon any one. to do so would be against The Word and Will of God... unlike far too many "athiests" I have met who are clearly and deliberatly trying to force their "beliefe", or lack there-of, upon me.
Faith not based on fact is fantacy. for those of The True Christian Faith the fact upon which our Faith is based is a personal knowlege of God. I will not debate God with anyone... there is no need to.
If you have an honest question concerning The True Christian Faith feel free to email me. You will receive an honest answer to the best of my ability... but no debate and no attempt to get you to "join up".

I am a Christian and I don't mind a good healthy debate about what I believe- it tends to strengthen my faith and resolve. However, many of those conversations in the past have turned hurtful and ugly rather quickly. So now, I proceed with caution and if I see the conversation going in that direction, I just do my best to change the subject.

I can't speak for all Christians, but I have no trouble holding up my end of a debate. Being a Christian is a process, not a one-time event, and I'm certainly open to refining my beliefs and being flexible.
The only time I get a little annoyed is when someone is being blatantly obnoxious and rude. I try not to mock other people's beliefs, and I don't like it when they make fun of mine.

Not so much.
I've never met a one who was willing to consider another position.

no. I know Who my God is, and what He does for me.
He changed my heart--and THAT won't change.
NOT OPEN for discussion.
WHY on earth would I do THAT, anyway?
He loves you, too, ya know.

I am absolutely open as long as others are open and make intelligent discussions on all sides. I don't think that anyone is going to change my beliefs or vise versa so why be mean to each other about it. My thoughts are God wouldn't want me to be hateful about discussing him by being nasty...what would I be teaching about God?

I am more than open to critical discussion of my Christian belief. I have debated atheists and can respect their point of view if given if an intelligent way without attacking me personally. If you have a specific question ask it, but I have no interest going to some web site.

A lot of people do get offended if you talk against their beliefs.
Stupid or willfully ignorant?
Take your pick.
