I'd like to know the answer to this question as well.

Actually, what usually happens is the christians get the shit kicked out of them on their own forums, and then the administrators of the christian forum decide to ban the skeptics. I guess it makes them feel better about losing so badly.

But you sound like a real christian. Why don't you answer some of the questions posed here?

It seems like a good way to have one's criticism critiqued by others who may be more informed or have useful observations regardless of their religious beliefs or lack thereof. I would think that being well-informed is more relevant to being a good source of information than the personal beliefs of the membership.

I tend to agree that this probably isn't the best forum in which one should pose tough questions on Christianity unless those questions are directly related to biblical texts. MF&P or GRD are a better source for questions about Christianity that are not related to text interpretation.

Nope, a self-described Muslim.

I remember going to one Christian forum - can't remember which it was - but it SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED that nonbelievers not post. They didn't want people coming in to challenge the faith or the believers at the site and said so directly.

If you want to know what a "true christian" thinks about anything, all you have to do is look it up in the bible.

True christians have no opinions that differ from scripture.

Thanks.

Well, it's not all criticism but discussion can point out the shortcomings of a position and this can be considered criticism...expecially when done over and over for each person who has never heard the discussons before.
We engage in such introspective discussions often because Christians themselves very often have not or will not do it themselves. Not to forget that pretty much every theist who comes here wants to go head to head with us (like you).
Despite the constant hail of theists with their flawed assertions, things never seem to change much in religious discussions. Their arguments never get any more coherent and our position (or criticisms if you like) are never demonstrated by them to be unreasonable (though they keep accusing us of this since we don't have faith in the supernatural...their version of it anyway).

And you are very welcome (with the same sincerity of your thanks).

BTW, Jesus and David both lick my balls. :devil3:

Someone with AUTHORITY? Like who?

Do you mean one of God's anointed ones? Like Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland or Pat Robertson?

:rolling:

AUTHORITY!
