Explanation:
I have been frustrated in the past on DU of trying to have a conversation in the Christian Liberal/Progressive forum and having atheists pop in and pull everything apart.
So not necessarily anyone here, now.
My presence here was/is in hope to find a better way to interact. Because in real life, I don't have any problems with atheists or any other flavor except when people attack someone for their beliefs or lack thereof. I have never liked bullying behavior.
I thought I could try to BE THE CHANGE I want to see in others by offering a peaceful, supportive interaction towards atheists by a Christian.
I was trying to show a different side and look for a peaceful solution because in the real world with people I know, I get treated like a person regardless of the color of my skin or my religion or lack thereof.
On DU it would be nice for that to happen and I thought I could be a positive example of a religious person not trying to force anyone to do anything expect respect the fact that we all have rights to believe as we choose to without being ridiculed.
But it seemed like it wasn't working, but maybe I misunderstood some people's intent.
