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.

Maybe that explains things.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

“How much longer are you going to keep him in the dark?
What do we tell him?
He's a pilot. Tell him the condition of his craft.”
So, what are you; a Lilly or a pilot?Last edited by firstfloor; 04-25-2015, 04:49 AM.

But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
It's funny, but makes a good point.Last edited by GakuseiDon; 04-25-2015, 05:34 AM.

Evangelism is much more rigorous and dangerous than working some 9-5.
You used the word "is." If you're saying your particular evangelism is more dangerous than a 9-5, then please explain what's so dangerous about it.
