If even a single person is educated on the matter as a result then it IS a step in the right direction.

Please post the threads where I did all this. I'm waiting.
I did not say that you did, like i said earlier, are you reading this forum with your eyes closed ?. There is nothing favorable being said about sinners especially the biggest sinners of the homosexuals, when they are the topic in question. So my point is, maybe when you can answer why many christians are obsessed with sin and homosexuality then we might get closer to why atheists are pre occupied with God and christianity, i mean seriously do you think they are here to prove there is no God or they are responding to things spoken against them, i would tend to believe the latter.

The OP's prove you wrong. The mere fact that atheists are obsessed with something they swear to not exist leads one to question their collective sanity.

One step forward, ten steps backward. Sounds reasonable.

Outside of that, one of the reasons I USED to come to the Christian forum was to discuss the bible, but the mods, as well as some believers, were not always amused with my delivery so that discouraged me from really coming here. I prefer to discuss the bible as a book and RIGHTLY break it down WITHIN the context of the environment in which it was written as opposed to looking at it as a book of devotion. For the many fundamentalists we have here, this does not go over well because they prefer to force their New Testament minded biases on the older Jewish scriptures to neatly fit their Jesus into the equation. As a result, some go crying to the mods about folks hurting their feelings for discounting their beliefs.

I really don't get into the "Churches are filled with hypocrites" or visit this forum to fuss about what Christians do or not do. Personally, I could care less. I am more interested in WHAT they believe based on their understanding of the bible, well, at least those who take it literally.
WHY? WHY? WHY?

Why does what they believe concern YOU?

He keeps bringing it up because he trying to bait you into discussing homosexuality, and then he would accuse you of being judgmental. He does it all the time.

From what I can readily determine, atheists are simply a group of folks who are obsessed with poking their collective noses into other people's business. They are like a bunch of busy-bodied meddling old women. They are so insecure in their own skin that they simply have to get into someone else's skin and run their affairs.

I think it is something you need to get over and if you have the this, then use it.

but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,
