    So it appears that the thread titled "Are most Christians bisexual?" has been successfully deleted. Several self-identified Christians noted that they were reporting the thread. Yet the thread, during its short life, did spark some very high-quality discussions. I wonder if a better course of action would be one of the following: 1) ignore the thread and let it die off on its own; 2) refute the OP with factual dialog. But instead some would rather just not have the discussion at all -- not unlike those who write angry letters to the TV networks when there are homosexuals portrayed in a positive light, or when a nipple slips out of a dance costume for three seconds.

    So, I ask you, Christians: what are you afraid of?

    "Are most ___plural noun___ ___adjective___ ?" Are stupid questions. Why would a smart guy like you want to be associated with such idiocy?

    Obviously we have a difference of opinion on the matter.

    You think blanket generalizations are a good thing? Or, are you disagreeing that you are a smart guy?

    Better question?

    Are most atheists so obtuse and unintelligent that they are totally and completely incapable of applying objective standards or even the pretense of civility?

    Nope.

    Because anyone who was capable of objective standards and civility would have realized that the defense of such an absurd premise would have required something with a little more intellectual substance and validity than asking people about their private sex lives as if that would be an appropriate venue to discuss OBJECTIVE sceintific discussion.

    Who cares if it is the well known ad hominem? A known fallacy?

    Who cares if atheists could not even demonstrate how such a private request met the standard of 'science' or even general relevance? (Of course, he now accusses an entire religion of cowardace for first standing up this nonesense - for which he remains blind to - and then for have done what he can not and will not - so best to flame bait people and question and entire religion integrity). Whe do people choose atheism? Believe that acting like a bone head is a good thing?

    And let me save you your next accussation, I was not the one that reported anything in the thread. As assininely stupid as your hysterics are, they only meet the bar or simply idiocy, and I generally attempt to only report outright abuse.

    However, this one WILL be reported, if for no other reason that your hurt feeling are simply not a debate subject for this section.

    OK, I think BTTR is a petulent baboon - notice it is merely an opinion and not a personal attack.

    Consider position defended. BYE!

    So you have abandoned atheism! And science! Two posts and two abandonments!

    Will you defend nothing!?! Should I call you a coward at this point? HA!

    Well, that is sweet.

    However, given you last line of questioning and the relevance of choice in sexuality, I am not sure that your sudden attraction and concern for me (knowing I am a man) does much to defend your position?

    Even more worrisome, you started a thread about people who will not defend something, and, not only are you not defending something, you clearly just want to get personal - which got the first thread closed.

    Atheists can be terribly bone headed.

    Your soul is far more important than some internet thread.
    I will continue to pray for you.

    It took you four hours to come up with lame mocking?

    I thought you atheists considered yourselves intelligent? Eh.

    I was surprised to see that obvious troll thread run as long as it did.

    It started out as Flame bait but did get interesting, just as 'discussion of the navel' is also interesting. (How ppl on this forum can bloviate for so long on a single thread still amazes me!).

    But I didnt realize that when I hit the 'Unsubscribe" button yesterday afternoon that it would Delete the whole thread! Guess it needed to be 'forked'..?!

    But just my one line answer to the OP question has nothing to do with the previous thread, but to the base question:

    Yes, many American Christians (those who 'label themselves' as such) are cowards, but for being wishy-washy and not taking outward stands on the words of their founder of whom they claim to follow. Lazy Christianity and ignorance of the scriptures and the Spirit behind them is the soup de jour for the 'American Christian.' Persecution (more than just vain attack verbiage) is what caused the church to prosper....identifying with the sufferings of Christ to the point of death.

    Sorry, but I cant give you the answer that you flame-baited for...

    Seems to me atheists are the ones grappling with fear. Why else would they start threads like this one if they weren't consumed with guilt and worry for their eternal souls?

    Oh wait... atheists don't think they have eternal souls.

    Nevermind. Whine on.

    I say only: Tin can army. Nearly a professional army - maybe trisexual soldiers - no one knows really. Very tiny, very cannily, (*)(*)(*)(*)ed dangerous. German elite soldiers. Not even Hitler took the risk to try to give them an order.
