by the way, I like your new portrait

But why do unbelievers enter into discussion on a topic for which they do not believe.
Arisztid in a COAT of Rromani awareness Mar, 17 2008 at 05:08 PM
I like to enter into discussions on theology because I find it interesting. I like to get into long chats with theists who want to discuss and compare. I like to talk about all types of religions and belief systems. I believe that this is part of the way to best understand the world around me.
. Well, I used to like to enter into these discussions. I have given up this pleasurable pastime after having had my throat jumped down one too many times. Well, more than once. Answer 2 out of 28 by Chainsaw on Mar 17, 2008 at 11:24 am Permalink

I do not mind the debate but some of the contributions are down right rude and beligerrant and no allowance for a difference of opinion. Why if you feel like that answer a question about the bible if it is not believed. Baffles me.
Chainsaw Mar, 17 2008 at 08:17 PM
I don't believe no, but I don't think I'm right about everything I believe, either. I don't believe, but I always consider other beliefs, opinions and points of view. I consider that I may be wrong. Which is why I debate. Makes sense to me.

That is where we discover what we believe to be truth. Thanks for answering.

I concur with this as well.

There is however a difference in confronting and exposing ignorance and having a crusade against people in order to deny them free expression.
peterpam Mar, 17 2008 at 10:35 PM
Is disagreement with a personal lifestyle choice ignorance that needs dealing with? I disagree entirely with some lifestyle choices but is it my responsibilty to label those people as ignorany because they believe differently? What actually is ignorance, faith in something is not a matter of ignorance it is belief whatever the tenet is. Unless of course it is detrimental to mankind. Believing that the bible is God's word does not it seems to me fit into that category. Some actions that are taken from a minority of apparent believers do and as such they should be dealt with by the fullforce of the law.

I agree, it seems way too many people are out looking for a fight. Everyone has a right to their beliefs and should not have to constantly defend them. A good benevolent debate is one thing, but just to outright say you're wrong is another. People can feel free to disagree but they shouldn't judge or condemn.
peterpam Mar, 17 2008 at 10:36 PM
I agree with you entirely. Thank you.

I think this was a really good question.
peterpam Mar, 17 2008 at 05:06 PM
With respect TJ the question was to do with answers to questions solely to do with the bible and some unbelievers knock on the answer door to not only try to convert but very often mock in a most unfortunate manner. Why not simply ignore it as I do some subjects that I see as unsavoury!
Glenn Blaylock Dec, 04 2008 at 07:22 PM
TJ 77520, no I don't see many atheists knocking on doors. The equivalent behavior among atheists is going to the courts to sue whenever some religious person dares to speak publicly about their religion. Madeline Murray O'Hare set the standard for this type of behavior when she sued NASA because the crew of Apollo 8 dared to read an excerpt from the Bible during a broadcast from lunar orbit. She wanted the courts to stop astronauts from engaging in religious activity while in space. Please don't get me wrong. I am not saying that all, or even most atheists are this unreasonable. However, you do have your fanatics just like religions do.
