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.

    As my pastor said, we'll never get bored in heaven because we'll spend an eternity learning everything there is to know about an infinite God.

    Let's see the definition.

    I see a whole lot of careful parsing of accounts to dismiss whatever sources don't support the desired narrative. Pretty shoddy history, if you ask me. Surely she's aware that "fiddling" in no way requires an actual violin....

    You should've stopped here.
    or wants anything at all, including you.
    This is where you switched to talking out your nether regions.
