I don't know of anyone wanting to "tear down Christianity," nor do I see that here. I see Christians arguing daily with each other about nearly every conceivable aspect of the religion. And I see a handful of non-Christians (albeit former ones, like me) chiming in now and again.

In that case, you would need a sticky or something in the terms like: "All comments on this board must assume that the life, ministry and message of Jesus are appropriate bases for a faith system." Otherwise what is described is anything about Christianity.

I don't think I have ever seen a thread here where certain people didn't come in to derail the discussion by repeating the same exact lines about how the Bible is corrupt and nothing but writings of savage and ignorant people. Such comments are designed kill the discussion before it begins, and yes, it boils down to tearing down the core beliefs of Christianity.

No it doesn't. It boils down to questioning the bases for analyzing the life, ministry and message of Jesus and that is a perfectly legitimate discussion under "Christianity." You are looking for a forum that should be titled "Conservative Christian Theology." Good luck with THAT.

That's ironic since everything you know about the life of Jesus comes straight from the book which you trash as being corrupt ramblings of ancient, superstitious and ignorant savages. Every thread here is saturated with such contradictions, and it derails the discussions into nonsense.

You really are a whinger. It is your beliefs that are in question not the scriptures. What's more it is not christians or the scriptures being attacked it is primitive beliefs about God being exposed for what they are.

That part comes from the Old Testament. You don't seem to see the difference. Added: btw, that word should be "having corrupt ramblings," not "being."

When you are not trashing the scriptures, you are taking personal pot-shots at other posters.

So you ignore the fact that is being pointed out to you that you are intentionally misrepresenting ALL who believe differently to you and then whinge for being told you complain about absolutely nothing in an annoying and persistent manner. Anyone would think you are being persecuted for your beliefs.

If you cannot show where i have trashed the scriptures i will report this post. You need to stop with this childish reaction to everyone who disagrees with your beliefs in and about the scriptures.
