Many people come on this forum for whatever reason. Some have an agenda, and others just seek conversation. Some seek protection and others advice. Inevitably they all settle into the practice of engaging with the forum. They eventually start threads, making points. The point of this thread is credibility.
Now we know who the trolls are that are here to disrupt and cause chaos. We also know those who are ego driven and just want to see their stream of consciousness publicized. They lack integrity and honesty.
There is a category that is worth noting as, even though they seek honest discourse, they lack credibility automatically because they hold a belief in a myth. Oh, the onset of their post seems credible enough, but at some point, they retort to arguments and insults. They want their original post to be accepted without a challenge. They never have facts to back it up and therefore fall back on the same old excuse of because that's what the bible says (because I said so).
This fosters anger from the original poster and any of their surrogates that want to defend them.
Here is my caution to all of them. If you come on a forum, any forum, be ready to be challenged. Being challenged is a positive response to your post, not a threat. Indeed scientist all garner the scrutiny of other scientists. In fact, they demand it. Just posting a claim that you hold as a belief is worthless. If your claim cannot hold up to scrutiny, don't both posting.
I know that many christian forums are nothing more than rah-rah cheerleading post, one after another, saying god is great, with no proof or substance. That isn't what forums are for. They are for discussion, not to reinforce your insecure beliefs. At least not THIS forum. For example, I am an atheist. I don't expect all atheist to agree with me about almost everything. I expect to defend my position with substantive evidence. I don't expect for members to just lockstep accept everything I post. And I make mistakes, that I have proven over and over again that I can take responsibility for. I don't just blindly assume that I am right. The great thing about being atheist is that you don't have to defend a myth. You don't have to prove something that cannot be proven. This is the HUGE dilemma of theist. They ultimately cannot defend their belief. Therefore their argument on almost, if not every issue, will eventually fail. Because they are automatically disqualified to carry on a logical debate, discussion, or argument.
