it's not necessarily preaching... it is a topic of discussion and we're all equals here right?
I would love to have a long discussion with the OP posted, it doesn't necessarily mean that everyone would want to... they should just avoid it.
we get anti-theistic topic all the time, and atheism preaches here too...
it's the religion, faith and theology section for Truth's sake!
theology is directly associated with Christians and the study of their religion.
...boom boom tiss
What part of the OP did you miss? THERE IS TO BE NO DISCUSSION.
So...what is this thread...if there is no discussion?
Å99
are you theistic or more specifically a Christian theologian?
maybe you could step back because it is getting difficult for me to navigate this thread... a discussion was never left to materialize before the anti-theism flood came.

I believe we are discussing the NON-DISCUSSION clause of the OP...which would seem to be contrary to the spirit of discussion...what exactly do you see in the OP that needs to be discussed?.

I propose a new section mr Lawgiver... called "Atheism"
because it's not a religion, faith or theology, although I am still trying to figure that out exactly.

...and I propose (but it would be the hieght of assumption to assume that generally posters are theists, or not) a new section called Christianity, Christianity and Christianity...or, you could go to a website wholly dedicated to it...and NOT discuss, but instead hi-five and preach to the converted...

I don't see it. Going all out about the Lord of Hosts is no different than deifying the tears dropping off Obama's cheeks, imho. You can always put in a complaint, cuz I'm not going to do anything.
As for no discussion, we're into three pages already.edit on 7/12/13 by masqua because: (no reason given)

I could dissect this... tear it up and burn it to the ground but I won't, there's no use.
maybe they could just tag atheism to the end of the section title then? so nobody feels left out...

ETA: it would be silly to assume who was an athiest and who not...so this line of argument is moot and ridiculous...

there is a discussion here to be had about (more specifically) Christians defending themselves in the face of adversary.

this can be reversed too and applied to anyone.
PS; there's that word again "moot"
I give images to words... and t is not easy for people to circumvent my detection.

I can't tell what band is playing either before I get in the door to the club, nor can I tell if it is a cover band playing a tune in which the music is similar but just a little off...
I shouldn't have listened to all that Heavy Metal when I was a youngan.

Nonsense. The OP refers to threads started for the purpose of attacking the faith.
Patently he does not regard his own thread as one of those, so your ingenious argument is disingenuous.
