Meet me after school in the parking lot, unless you're yella'. ;`)
A bit more seriously, although still in jest, what if I were?

Agreed. I just couldn't resist.

Whole-heartedly agree. Utter rubbish - the entire site and those like it.
Actually, I had the same reaction as you to all of the points made. They
were poorly reasoned and written and perfectly applicable to refuting
Christianity. I'm not really sure why I lashed out at ya there Big Guy.
Guess I felt you were attacking my boyz again and had to take up for 'em.
Honestly, I find the whole current situation entirely exasperating. It's
frustrating to see Islam blamed for the heinous actions of an aberrant few -
as I've taken issue with Christianity being blamed for the crusades, etc.
Sorry for being so predictable.

I guess I was pointing out that my beliefs are not based on circular
reasoning. Some of my arguments here on .debate have, but I participate here
for other reasons.

As do I. A pivotal principle of Christianity is judging one's fruit in
regard to the veracity of one's beliefs. If a person professes to be a
Christian but exhibits no fruit of said belief, his faith is void. I have a
huge problem with zealots who get in the face of those they deem unworthy
and blast them with a "Repent or Burn!" gospel(?). Jesus was said to be the
friend of sinners precisely because He didn't look down His nose at people -
on the contrary, He made them feel loved and accepted. I think the ignorance
stems from never leaving your own circles - your beliefs are never tested or
questioned when you surround yourself with those who agree with you. .02
