For instance, many religions have creation beliefs but the greatest number and loudest arguments are made against Christians. The Jews and Muslims are pretty much ignored along with all the others.

Wild guess, but this could be due to the fact that Christianity has much greater influence politically in the US than Judaism and Islam. Judaism is also less likely to take the anti-scientific positions of evangelical and fundamentalist Christianity. How about you convert to Islam and try to argue against the theory of evolution and I'll take you up on that as well.

And I see you have the "obliquely insult others" Religion Forum shtick down pat.

Actually,

I think The Lord burned the insult gene out of Angel-Gal some years ago.

Sounds like an eye of the beholder phenomenon, to me.

Well jeepers, some "wild guess" -- of course it does! America is a Christian nation at its root, as is evident if you bother to study our history and founding documents, especially the Declaration of Independence.

Please see my tagline....

That is certainly true but if that is the reason for the anti-Christianity sentiment I have observed, then obviously the debate is neither intellectual nor academic but rather, it is about earthy power.

Thank you, I do try to not make things personal.

And you might have noticed that "insult" is rather built-into theological debate because it seems every time a new belief springs from another one, both sides insult each other as matter of doctrine.

But most importantly, the spirit of anti-Christ is insulted by the words of God Himself.

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. - I John 2:22

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying], Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. - Psalms 2:1-5

The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good. - Psalms 14:1

To God be the glory!

You ought to be rejoicing now! ... Your effort to insult Alamo_Girl on this forum indicates that God’s Spirit is whispering to your spirit and you’re feeling a form of guilt that you project onto others, speciously, but nevertheless an indicator. Don’t reject His whispers into your spirit, your eternal fate is in the balance while being whispered to; you don’t know at what point God will give you over to the bitterness which follows consistent rejection of His mercy in Christ Jesus. Here’s your sentence, the proof of your spiritual hearing but choosing to deny and choosing to take the whispering as insult to your ego: “And I see you have the “obliquely insult others” Religion Forum shtick down pat.”

Alamo-Girl is one of the finest posters on these threads. She never tries to hurt anyone. She’s got true humility and kindness. Some folks here could learn a lot from her.
