Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

1. Although I'm not entirely convinced he has I will at this point offer him the benefit of the doubt since being a Christian doesn't magically transform you into being perfect or even anywhere close to it.

Fervently? Hmmm...don't think so. Goes with "strident." I do think Trump is an immoral prat - but he will go the way of the dodo bird eventually (hopefully in 2020). And I do not denounce ALL evangelicals - merely those who are lining up behind this man and failing to call him out on his moral failings because they like his political policies. I suspect Jesus of Nazareth would have had a great deal to say about such positions.
As for my posts in general...there is a lot of speculation about my emotional state here. You appeared to be adamant that I was misreading many who appear fairly angry to me. I guess you'll have to decide if you accept my word that you are misreading my own emotional state. I feel neither strident - nor fervent - nor loud.

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

I suspect not (but then again - don't we all ). Despite opinions here, I'm actually pretty honest, work hard to chase down my facts, and would prefer to believe what is true rather than what is convenient or what aligns with my existing views. I suspect Jesus and I would have gotten along pretty well - except that I would not have believed he was a god. But then again, I strongly suspect he didn't believe he was a god either, and would be dismayed to discover he had been elevated to that status.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
