Ugh - I can't stand Christian forums. They make me cry. Everyone is so mean and it's nothing but "read this and you'll be saved." I don't like being tricked into having Jesus in my life!

Don't forget the standard "Hey I need help with depression/suicide/death in the family/drug abuse" "You're not praying enough" topics.

I just joined the Baptist Board today and I'm enjoying it immensely.

I've stopped posting so much (funnily enough, I've cut down on my forums since I finished my exams...I think I've got those in the wrong order)

I still post on:
<a href="http://www.theologyforums.com/forums" target="_blank">Theology Forums</a> a lot (under the name Atheist_Divine) because I find them a nice bunch of people
and more rarely on <a href="http://www.theologyonline.com" target="_blank">Theology Online</a> but I don't like the people there very much at all.

I used to go to <a href="http://www.christianbbs.com" target="_blank">Christian BBS</a> and <a href="http://www.christianforums.com" target="_blank">Christian Forums</a> and I know of another two, <a href="http://www.somegoodstuff.com" target="_blank">Some Good Stuff</a>and <a href="http://www.yes-i-believe.com" target="_blank">Yes-I-Believe</a> but the latter requires you be a fundy to join

<a href="http://www.worldbeliefs.com" target="_blank">World Beliefs</a> is a good forum, with bits for atheists, Christians, Jews, Muslims, and a Buddhist forum which has been taken over to be a "other" forum. There aren't many people there though, it could do with some more members!

I tend to lurk and occasionally post on <a href="http://www.christianwebsite.com" target="_blank">www.christianwebsite.com</a> because the people tend to be a helluva lot nicer than ChristianForums.

I use to post on a Catholic Forum, but I got banned because I challenged the wrong people! I was dubbed “Dark Angel” and banned without so much as a reason why. I was told later by a friend I made there and he protested by dismissal and soon came under attack as well, although he was Catholic! I challenged the misinformation about Jews, Pagans and Atheists – boy did that NOT go over well! I got into with a “Reverend” about his hypocritical behavior and called him on his “false witnessing” one too many times!

I posted on the Baptist Forum for a very short time period but that place is what I would define as close to Hell on Earth. If this Heaven of theirs if populated by the quality of people on that board, please send me straight to Hell!

I used to lurk (never posted) on a board called ExWitch, part of the Delphi Forums. It's run by a woman who, apparently, converted from Paganism to Christianity. Extreme fundamentalist Christianity, as far as I could tell. Other fundamentalist Christians, and a scattering of Pagans, posted there.

I quit reading it after a while. The fundies scared the shit out of me. I had never realized there were people that nutso in the world.

I don't know if you care what I post on since I'm a Christian...anyway in case you do, here goes...

I used to post on CARM but I didn't much like the moderator there at the time - maybe it's the guy who's now left.

I belong to <a href="http://www.iljboards.com/index.php?s=fc3905bc5c2765a173891ceaeaba9893" target="_blank">ilj boards</a> but only posted there because of the ODD forum which closed.

I belong to and post on <a href="http://pub5.ezboard.com/bzetoumenehoalethia" target="_blank">Seeking Truth</a> which is the successor to ODD on ilj. The pop-up ads on here may drive you nuts and it's small but at least non-Christians are freer to post whatever they want, with more freedom than on any other Christian-run board I know of. (Not that I know of that many)

I belong to the Baptist Board; I finally joined after they banned atheists; it frustrates me that I can't post on most forums though, because of not being a Baptist. That's probably why I didn't join for a long time.

I belong to <a href="http://216.127.68.72/~admin19/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi" target="_blank">Christian Message Boards</a> which has replaced the 711 board; I post there sometimes.

I post on <a href="http://pub22.ezboard.com/bgwnn" target="_blank">Challenging Atheism</a> sometimes. Oh, and a little bit on Metacrock's Board: <a href="http://pub18.ezboard.com/bhavetheologywillargue" target="_blank">Have Theology, Will Argue</a>

Those are the main ones that I can think of

love
Helen

Of course I care. I'm an equal opportunity asker questioner

Thank you everyone.

I used to post on the <a href="http://www.christianbbs.com" target="_blank">Christianbbs</a> boards. I stayed for a few months, but it started to really irritate me. I can only take so much!! My screen name was firehawk if anybody used to post or lurk there.

Now I post on <a href="http://www.worldbeliefs.com" target="_blank">Worldbeliefs</a> board. Except for a couple mindless fundys it's a good board. There aren't very many people posting, though.
