I see so many people chewing at each other through the religious section of the forum and right away Satanic design comes to my head. If I ever read my bible correctly I swear I recall seeing parts regarding creating discord amongst believers. People in constant petty argument can not rally. If they can not rally sin is able to slip in and take root un noticed. Then Satan only needs to rattle a cage or two every now and then and slide everyone apart a little more each time.
So I ask this question, why do so many here feel they need to argue so much? Especially regarding matters of Christianity.
Why the need to blame some one other than the people doing the arguing?
Personally, I find it somewhat entertaining, in a good way.
Two things that come from it;
1- I am challenged by other's views of all things spiritual/religious. Many times I asked myself, WHY do I hold the view (believe) what I do. I evaluate, and re-adjust my position.
2- I seriously doubt I would have the same opportunity to hold these discussions in the "real world".
I actually like the people I engage with, even though it may appear (very) antagonistic at times.
Satan sowing discord? Maybe. He's not about doing anything GOOd to, for, or on behalf of humanity.
As Jesus said, he "only comes to steal, kill and destroy"
God alleged created us the way we are, so it seems He wanted people to be diverse and and talk to each other about this diversity.

If these categories cannot be removed from HP, could they at least be removed from the general forum list of most recent postings? That way, those of us who don't want to see all the ugly posting labels don't have to see them. Let the fight be in private within those categories, without stressing...

I started a comment in the "Does God Exist" thread and it led to this:In the forums many people who say they are atheists or non-believers in God say things like:"if you were to compliment a religious person they wouldn't understand" or something like that.These generalized...

This forum is for anyone here who wishes to debate on the subject of religion and religious beliefs. Outline your position, whether it be theist or atheist, explain why you hold that position, and then people can debate against you. This forum is not meant to polarize or antagonize people, simply...

Why are questions seemingly designed to set atheists against believers so popular?These questions seem to set things up so that there is a long and sometimes heated debate without a noticeable change in anyone's views.

This picture of the Vatican being struck by lightening was taken just after Pope Benedict resigned. It has disturbed even non-religious people. Luke 10:18Jesus replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.Say same the Pope's resignation is a Saint Malachy prophecy...
