I am a Christian, and I enjoy discussions about religion as I like to understand what other people think and why and how they think that way. I'm most fascinated by atheists who seem to have an obsession with religion. Already, I have noticed that the most prolific posters in these forums are mostly virulent atheists who seem to have a real anger or bitterness towards Christianity in particular and religion in general.
In any case, I appreciate discussions with anyone who can have a rational point to make and who understand Philosophy enough to do so. Unlike so many today who go with the trend that Science (or, Scientific Method) is the arbiter of logic and reason, I tend to stick with Philosophy as the field of study through which logic and reason are understood properly. I am particularly interested in Epistemology and other "knowledge" seeking fields of Philosophy and how they match up to Science, as I see this as the biggest gap between truth and people's "knowledge" today (regardless of religious belief).
So, I hope to have an enjoyable time and to learn something, and I also hope to be able to help some others learn some things as well! Thanks for having me!
In my defense though, I won't have a conversation about something as important as Christianity if I believe my opponent/adversary disagrees with me for reasons that are unsound or if they mischaracterize something too irresponsibly. As a result, my history will show I have a tendency to become embroiled in exchanges having nothing really to do with religion at all. Actually, you'll notice this is the case with many of us here. There are jsut as many threads that end up dealing with issues pertaining to rules of logic and such than those devoted to issues about Christianity.
