Strange that you should say that really - as I find ATS becoming far too much of a soapbox for radical & extreme christian fundementalists!

And that is ludicrous!!

SOT you said you follow "your definition" of being a Christian. You said you don't push it on others, but reading your original post at the start of the thread, all I could think was that you were trying to force your belief (in your words, your definition of a belief actually) on others.

If you want to talk congenially about religion in an atmosphere were no-one would dare contradict your precious beliefs, I would suggest you try a 'Christian Only' forum somewhere... There must be many hundreds available out there.

I'm just anti-stupidity. If a religion wants to say that the world is flat, when science has proven it's round...along those lines is what makes me critical of Christianity and other religions alike.
