Why are there so few christian here?

This is a great forum for debate. The moderators do a good job of keeping things under control without stopping anyone from posting.

Yet the most observable fact here is the reletive lack of christian posters.

I would expect there to be a lot more, given the popularity of amateur apologetics, and the biblical admonition to spread the faith.

I have a theory that is worthy of debate. I say that religion can only exist in protected environments. There must be an authority that prevents heretics and atheists from engaging in debate on equal grounds. Were there is no such authority, atheists carry the day.

I've seen lots of theist web forums. Invariably they use their administrator powers to support the theist side. It eventually becomes impossible to participate as an atheist. I take my writing seriously, and hate it when I feel that the moderator may delete my article because I say something he just can't bear to hear.

looking round the forum it seems the moderators probably discourage Christian dialogue in favour of DEI trash.

No, what is discouraged is uncivil remarks. And those who repeatedly do that are banned.

so what do you class as an uncivil remark as it seems you see yourself as Adolf Schicklegruber circa 1905?

Otseng is a megalomaniac by the look of his posts!

You would think that a Chrsitian forum would be run by overseers who know the basics of Christianity?

I was curious wht osetng defined itself as 'Savant' but then read: 'savant - a person who has an exceptional aptitude in one particular field, such as music or mathematics, despite having significant impairment in other areas of intellectual or social functioning.'

I was just discussing neighbours grandkids this morning as like so many kids these days they mostly seem to have weird mental problems similar to savant: autism, OCD, ADHD - all modern conditions that prove we are in the last days.

is osteng a typical example and a good choice for a forum with wideranging views and inputs above its level of understanding?

Anyway I'm off socialising with happey welladjusted people so I'll check back later.

Your posts serve as the perfect example. Banned … again.
