I love ‘their passion’ on the Religious Debate threads.......which is what you are defining....and also their humanity when that passion moves by using whatever means they can to get their point across, even when it might be misunderstood or appear to get out of hand to those viewing the thread.

They are being as real as Jesus was when He called the Pharisees and Sadducee's “whitewashed hypocrites", "snakes", and accused them of preventing people from entering the Kingdom. There are various religious threads one can choose from to "talk" religion and "share"....but the Debate thread is clear you enter at your own risk...the temperatures can and do get hot....generally speaking it is not the place for the overly sensitive or those who cannot bear being challenged for what they believe.

I have found that the debate thread forces me to go to the scriptures because they raise some very interesting challenges....you learn also how to defend your beliefs...

If and when it gets more heated then one can handle...you leave "the kitchen"....because they are cooking hot and heavy....steam rolls and people sweat....but in the end you have a smorgasbord feast.

Easy now, easy now, my comment was "tongue in cheek".

I agree with all you said, and I lurk on most all Religious debate threads for the same reason -- most make me think, and make me research scripture and Religious history.

Sooooo "Take That" and "Don't give me all that Passion Stuff" (tongue still in cheek)
