The Christian forum is more pro-Christian, where the Religion and Spirituality forum is a mixed bag , where if you come fishing for men , you can be sure to catch piranha instead as the opposition can be expected ...... So it is best to reject all pride in your discussions here....

Anyone else appreciate the irony here?

Hmmm, it's funny I don't recall ever claiming I was a Christian on this thread or anywhere else on this forum.

I'm fairly certain self-righteousness isn't limited to Christians.

On the "Religion and Spirituality" forum, things are decidedly anti-Christian. On the "Christianity" forum, they are pro-fundamentalist Christian and anti-everybody-else. (That's not to say that there aren't exceptions on both forums.)

Why, spiritual vampires preying on the feeble minded for financial gain rather than compassion motivated morally upright logic driven volunteers, of course.

This particular forum is generic. It does not promote any specific belief system. The religion specific forums are very much pro their individual belief systems.

The nature of the individual threads in this forum pretty much determines the members it will attract.

You have a variety of members posting here from the deeply religious to indifferent to decidedly anti-religious.

I guess you can think of this forum as being a gathering place for any and all belief/non-belief systems and as a result there will be disagreements. Disagreements are allowed provided it is the topic being disagreed with and there are no personal attacks against any member. The basic rule is for every one to address the topic and not the member posting it.

Disagreement is allowed, hate mongering or attacks are not.
