I understand how the thread started, I was making a generalAbbey Normal said:J, I understand your feelings, but this thread started out as a post on a current discovery which could be historical backup for the Bible. I did not see anyone trying to convince others to convert to Christianity. It was because some felt compelled to use the information to try to debunk the Bible that the thread turned contentious.
Attacks on Christianity in America today may be making some Christians feel justifiably defensive. As for this board in particular, I do not go around telling non-Christians that they are idiots and morons for not believing in the Bible. I do not tell people they are going to Hell. So if a poster takes every opportunity to try to slap down my faith, to tell me I am an idiot for believing (and yes, some do that, repeatedly), I don't take that very well. And why should I?
Believe, don't believe, I don't care. But I will never understand nor condone such single-minded compulsion to turn people away from their religion.
statement applying to any and all posts about religion. I also know who the
prime offender(s) is. I geuss I was trying to keep future conversations
logical, and not personal. That's the best way to talk about religion IMO.
