I think this forum is almost the perfect implementation of the "marketplace of ideas." I welcome the best argument from the liberal, left, satanists, because if our Christian ideas can't carry the day here, how will they fare in the broader world? The battleground is here, on this forum. What we say here is weighed and measured.
It may seem like there are only a few hundred of us, but pastors and preachers read these forums and use the results of these issue-driven topics to make better, more timely sermons. The word gets out. The light overcomes the darkness on these forums. Burke said, "All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to remain silent." The silence ends on these forums. Satan cowers at the mere word. The words come from this forum.
As we all know, scripture can and will be twisted to achieve any outcome. This forum squeezes truth out of those who would twist scripture and it's done for all to see. I applaud those who support, manage and run this forum. I appreciate the (mostly) uncensored free exchange of ideas.
To the OP - if you don't feel your getting both sides here (the Christian side not given by the mainstream media), where else can one go? Who offers a better forum of ideas? Huffington, who censors almost every Christian word? Who else allows God's words to freely flow? Satan's words can be found anywhere (and everywhere), but who grinds through every detail and makes sure a solid Christian position is available on almost every daily news topic? The battleground has many bodies strewn and it can be an ugly mess, but at the end of the battle, forged truth remains. It's all right here, on this forum.
