Well done "B"! Ooops sorry mom  
It would be great to have sails posting here:
Its been said on here often,why arent non-Christain threads chastised by Christains The answer is easy. Christians have been placed in a box by its dogma. Few christians have knowledge of other religions and even fewer have the knowledge to debate another religion's doctrines. Christianity does not want its sheeple to expand in spiritual knowledge so its dogma preaches against its sheeples even reading nonchristian documents. The result is that the average sheeple cannot substantiate their own beliefs let alone those of another faith. why are threads about Christianity full of the same people that arent Christains? Because many of the people you rudely attack are ex-christians that have studied christianity and as a result of those studies, decided that christian dogma is fantasy and not for them. They have the background to not only question your beliefs, but to substantiate their position. Simply, they are their because they have the knowledge to debate christianity. You have to realize that ex-christians abhor seeing christian dogma spewed in this forum, as much as, an ex-smoker abhores people smoking around them. To the ex-christian, christian dogma is dangerous to mental health and is much more harmful than smoking. Peace
The fact is Christians are playing victim whenever their posts are questioned and they can not provide proofs to their statements. it doesnt open discussion but ignorance on one side because of silence, and wisdom on the other side questioning, accepting or refuting knowledge.
Christians can not handle this quest for knowledge that others outside of them have.

Knotty,
There is a level of fear when one might turn away from what they had been taught all their life.
Many of us have been there.

I for one, have proved with and through great knowledgeable information the best of my abilities to bring enlightment forward here.
Those that refute it with opinions are those that continuely put Christians in a box and thus forwards the personal attacks.

Respect is earned. How can anyone respect a TROLL.
How can anyone respect a pulpit preacher.
How can anyone respect ignorance shown by dogma Christians when they incite self-discrimination.
They say they are Christians and hold the truth yet they DO NOT provide any graound for their beliefs when questioned. They run from questioning and debate like a pac of wolves and only return to Troll down other postees. Constantly.
When they get upset they cry "victim."

Yes, please do....
Each one sets a precedent in knowledge if YOU take up the challenge in each one.
When anyone questions or tries to denounce buddhism, i whole-heartedly welcome it. It is wonderful and all posts are answered sincerely.
It gives us direct access to opening truths.
Christians NEVER take up the challenge even to show their faith. They do not have the substance hence why they run in pacs, badgering each other, coveting each other and bolstering their faith. They have nothing esle.
Do not fear the unknown but embrace it for its truths.
Angel... you been a Troll once or twice

SOC,
There is a big difference between respecting a persons right to believe in what they choose and respecting the message of their dogma or doctrine. Questioning the dogma that people believe in is not disrespectful. I have never said that you or any other christian should not follow christian dogma,
I have questioned statements made by christians but I also provided information to support my position. Do I say that you should leave christianity and begin believing as I do? No.
My posts are for people that are reading the threads in search for spiritual direction. I feel that christian dogma is dangerous to mankind in general and my position is supported by world history and also by scripture. Those searching have a right to inspect both sides of a coin before they buy it.
Christians are so indoctrinated with their dogma that they consider this to be personal attacks against them. It is not. If you think about it, I am not only providing the searcher with a look at the other side of the coin, I am giving every christian on the site the opportunity to present their side of the story. The problem is that the christians on this site do not understand their own dogma and do not have the ability to substantiate their position.
Like I said many times, I do not attack a person's right to their beliefs. I admit that many of my posts contain information that may cause you doubts, discomfort and frustration. That I can't control. It is caused by the lack of verasity in the dogma you have chosen to believe in.
Peace

Today's unknown is tomorrow's knowledge, and the next day's wisdom.
Learn form it instead of being offended when questioned.

Usually, if you have to ask for respect you probably don't deserve any. As for Christians. Aside from their general closed mindedness, spiritual tunnel vision, bigotry, ignorance of their own myth's origins, the lack of epistemology, the conflicting illogic, the disturbed psychotic behavior, the toxic ideology, the vampire like sucking of life right out of you, the neediness and helplessness, the glorification of suffering and death I think they're just fine and dandy. What's not to respect?

I believe the intention of the moderators in the stated rules, is that regardless of any persons beliefs here, the peaceful focus should remain on the nature of the words used to express that belief. I could be entirely mistaken but I think they wanted to create a harmonious tone for any of the words used. (Without them carrying any nasty overtone).
Some of us are very skilled at saying much more with our words than the word-for-word definitions provide.
I truly believe this is one of the chief skills the moderators would like to control.
They've provided the venue for the game. They want us to play by the House Rules.

Just can't do it can you knot boy? This sort of rhetoric does not promote civil discussion. What it promotes is civil war but then you don't know much about being civil as you regularly demonstrate neither does many of your cohorts here. Fear has nothing at all to do with the mean spirited lies that are purported by some against the Christian faith. And when that faith stands up to say that what Christ said is the truth then those attacks merely escalate. No it is you that play the part of the injured while spewing your venom.
Some just cannot handle...Respect
That is absolutely correct jankia. Possibly because those that can't don't even have any for themselves so they certainly can't express any toward others.
