Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
Please stop grandstanding here. Spiritualism in every form is what Atheist are skeptical about. It's not their fault the this country is saturated with Christians and so Christianity is brought before them more than any other religion.
Buddahism started in the 4th century B.C.
If the truth of a religion were determined by its longevity, then Hinduism would win.
This is the Philosophy forum. According to the forum's Statement of Purpose, it is for the "critical examination of the rational grounds of our most fundamental beliefs and logical analysis of the basic concepts employed in the expression of such beliefs" (Concise Encyclopedia). If you feel you are unable to participate in accordance with the forum's intended purpose, then may I suggest other sections of the site where the standards are much more lax, such as Theology (Christians only)?Oh yes, quite
I don't (very often) stray, into CF's other forums
but, picked up upon this threads header in 'recent posts'
and having read through the thread, then, to make comments
that, as can be seen, received 'the attention' (replies) above
It is I am sure obvious (here) that a little clique of unbelievers, 'crowd-in' around Christians
(those that reply) and begin making 'personal remarks' / 'comments'
toward the Christian responder's beliefs, rather than the content of their posts
which clearly would have been reportable (not so long ago)
Rather than see yet more, of 'that', and to engage such 'contentious attitudes'
I chose, instead, to place them on my ignore-list, for they, offer, no more than ridicule
The Philosophy forum was presumably established by Christians, specifically those who are members of CF staff. Evidently they did not share your concern at the time. If you cannot abide having your beliefs examined critically or your claims questioned, then this is not the forum for you. Preaching may persuade elsewhere, but not here.
What traps? What on earth are you talking about? Do you think it's impossible to examine the claims of Christianity critically without "insulting" or "mocking" Christians? If so, then this forum shouldn't even exist!
Yes, this thread is a wreck, and hardly representative of the general calibre of threads on the Philosophy forum.
??Funny that you should assert that
The OP is a Unitarian

Unitarianism is a Christian theological movement named for the affirmation that God is one entity,
in direct contrast to Trinitarianism, which defines God as three persons in one being.[1]
Unitarians maintain that Jesus of Nazareth is in some sense the "son" of God (as all humans are children of the Creator),
but that he is not the one God himself.

and then the atheists 'took control'
ie: it is no place for Christians to find legitimate discussion
