That's a no-winner for everybody. My advice is just to ignore them. They will try to lure you into what seems to be a rational conversation and when you are in, BAM! the attacks will start.-
If you don't get involved to begin with, you won't have the problem. I'm encouraged by the new voices in "Religion" who really want to discuss serious things, not just to blast.
So let's keep it up.

It doesn't help that so many right wingers are hi-jacking Christianity.... demilib Apr 2012 #17

That sounds like religionism (racism of religion) to me. RegieRocker Apr 2012 #18

Frankly, I'm surprised this thread is being tolerated... regnaD kciN Apr 2012 #19
