...for discussion between those who profess to be followers of Jesus, would you participate in it? Secondly, Zig, is it possible?

I would find it interesting to have some real discussion....unfortunately that's impossible as we are currently structured. And no, it's not because I don't want dissenting voices in. It's that when a person continually intentionally/unintentionally misstates things and doesn't discuss, it destroys any attempts to have a back and forth.
No longer GroupThink 'woke'. but it was fun while it lasted.

Perhaps it's possible to have a by-invite only forum wherein anyone can read, but only invitees can post.

For the record, in the thread "Question for my fellow Christians", I only posted once and it was clearly a humorous reference to the fact that you see me as the anti-christ. But, while there was plenty I could have/wanted to say, you made your audience clear in the title so I butted out.
I think simply making it clear that it's a "believers only " thread would be enough.

I try to only butt in when the atheists bad type of stuff is posted or something similar. But really you could just ignore p!tch and not respond. But if you ignore me there will be hell to pay.

If it's not too much trouble, I believe it would increase the quality of this forum wherein Christians can discuss the various tenets of Christianity without the derailments.

Sure there are, but there is an awareness of each other here that would encourage better conversation. Here I feel I could ask a question that I may not ask elsewhere. A couple of years ago I lurked in a Christian forum, but never felt comfortable in participating. With people in the Zigbee Nuthouse we are primarily made up of people that have a 10 year plus relationship. So it is a huge difference.

If such a sub-forum is created, I predict more anger and vitriol will be displayed than anywhere on the rest of the board.Â
