Who can clarify this as I am completely baffled as to why CHRISTIANs are not allowed to post here...
Why should it be strange? Someone gave me the definition of an atheist as being one who lacks a belief in a GOD as different from one who denies GOD...I understand of course. Just thought your original question was a little strange...
Safe? What do you mean...safe?Who said you can't post here? What I meant was that there is a safe area for Christians Only, if you don't like atheists on this site
Christians are as allowed to post here as the rest.Who can clarify
Thank you for the clarification...Christians are as allowed to post here as the rest.
It's a section for both + Christians have the call to invite people.
Have you ever given a party and then asked people (that you invited to come)... "why are you here to begin with"? Well you invited them...
Safe? What do you mean...safe?
Where did you draw the conclusion that I do not like Atheists? Please, from my posts, I would appreciate you identifying which post seemed to imply this...
Thank you
So if you don´t mind my asking, why even be on a christian forum to begin with?
These "safe areas" are pretty rediculous.Safe, would mean that someone means to do ME harm...
Doesn´t it?
I understand about not wanting to confront some ideas because they could cause distress.What's the way to test & personally observe that truth?
Please note that I am seeking direct, personal observation of truth - not belief in claimed truth.
(Emphasis added)Mr Dawkins will soon discover that he was wrong all along. Again I wonder how an atheist can attribute any qualities of any kind to a God they do not believe exists. He is famous, educated, erudite and well able to present an argument. However, his arguments are just as specious as any other atheist. They start with an unprovable assumption and go downhill from there. He sees what believers see and comes to the opposite conclusion.
Not necessarily. I have a worldview. An atheistic attitude to the Christian God is one of many aspects of that worldview, but it is hardly the most important. I think I can state with reasonable confidence that my attitude to cauliflower and brussel sprouts has more impact on life than my atheism.Also atheism is a worldview (or more specifically a blanket term for a number of worldviews). I know a lot of atheists who don't like that idea either, but if atheism dictates the way you view the world, then it is a worldview and it does, so it is!
But that is not true of everyone. So I guess it could be determined by how much weight you give it, however it should be pointed out that you are on here conversing with people who disagree with you. I'm hoping that you don't have meaningful conversations with cauliflower (Brussel sprouts on the other hand...)Not necessarily. I have a worldview.

You have it backwards. My worldview, founded on rational thinking, scepticism and science, led me to my agnosticism (and atheism towards all currently identified potential Gods) not the other way around. My dislike of brassicas predated anything that might reasonably be called a worldview, but contributed to its formation.But that is not true of everyone.

Also since you don't think you have enough information to make a decision on the God issue (agnosticism) then that is causing you to view the world in a certain way and that becomes a worldview.
You asked why @ximmix would think you might not like atheists. He provided the post that led him to suspect that was the case. What is dishonest about that?Your post #110 is dishonest...
You took two of my responses and pieced them together to support something that I did not even imply...
