What was considered a debate was actually a supportive conversation. It feels good to find others with like minds. Some people enjoy listening to the input of others when they have questions about their faith.

Maybe if people realized this isn't a place to convert anyone to a particular way of thinking. Any discussion about our own life experiences that formed our beliefs have nothing to do with anyone in the room, so they should be taken in the spirit in which it was intended. Especially those of us who aren't Christian. It's insulting to be continually told to "take it outside" (PM or elsewhere).

As a result, a post of mine was deleted. I put a WHOLE lot of thought into it, and I tried my very best to abide by the rules.

It would be nice if we ALL tried very hard to respect each other.
