“i want to see other peoples veiws o this god charater... but i do feel out of place in that group!”
Well I would love to join you in the group but I normally only debate with Christians who openly indicate an interest in (intelligent) philosophical discussions first or initiate some sort of ill-founded attack on atheists or science & therefore invite a response. E.g. creationists who go on Richard Dawkins' channel & try to argue that “evolution is wrong because I am not descended from a chimp”. Well, they're right, they're not! Those people not only start off with an ignorant argument they haven't checked, they perpetuate stupid myths among other people who cannot be bothered to read evolutionary theory for themselves either! Similarly poorly considered & erroneous criticisms aimed at scientists & atheists I feel deserve some sort of answer because they are unfair. Also if they come on my turf I figure they are open to debate.
I mean, you have to have balls to try to argue this guy without doing your homework first but people try:
Christians who can come up with a well thought out explanations for their beliefs & like philosophy interest me though. There are some really intelligent Christians out there who debate well & are worth listening to because they raise interesting questions. And I feel it's a good idea to challenge my own beliefs anyway. So I'm happy for them to try to persuade me atheism is wrong & they are right. If they can come up with a valid, robust argument as to why I should become a Christian & produce the evidence I will happily change my stance. So if anyone in the Christian group wants to convert me they can try! Or better still, check whether their criticism of atheists is true! But I'd rather they come to our group & start a discussion than me join theirs uninvited because their group is a place for them to celebrate who they are. I think ours is a better place for debating. But I am hoping they will answer your question. I would be interested in what they have to say! I am guessing they've spotted you're not a fellow God lover though....
Oh yeah, I'm investigating your alien vid you posted.
