...Why do Christians try to keep debates with Non-Christians at a minimum?
This is something I have always wondered. The obvious example is this forum itself, which only allows one Christian to debate in a thread in this board and bars non-Christians from expressing opinions in GT etc. but this site is not the geatest example of this. You hear day by day that a Christian group wants to censor the opinions of non-Christians, for example when a Hindu cjaplain attempted to pray before the US senate, and deliberately made his message not focus specifically on Hinduism, he was heckled and derided by people quoting the scripture and so forth.
My question, and I do not mean to offend, is this; if Christians feel that their faith in Jesus is so strong why do they seem to fear non-Christians? I mean, would letting a Hindu priest pray be so had, or letting non-Christian debate with you be a chore?
