This'un will go to 500 replies and will plow the same ground, repeat the same arguments, flame the same flames, ignore the same evidence as a hundred other religious threads.

QUESTION: Has any Freeper ever changed his mind or even thought much about points made by opposing views on the religious threads? Be honest, and give examples.

Or do we automatically load the apologetic ammo and fire?

Oh no! It's Obvious Man!

I agree with you which is why I don't post the original articles; however, I do find it hones my apologetics skills to debate in a relatively friendly (usually) forum, so that when I go out in the real world, I am better prepared to defend my faith and spread the Word of God.

God bless.

There was a whole thread devoted to this question, posted some time back. HERE it is. I do wish these sorts of polemical religious debates would stay on the Never-Ending Story thread, just to keep the site uncluttered.

hmmmmmmmm...ok, I see your point. I've changed my mind.

I dunno... I was raised evangelical Christian, my folks were, are missionaries in Latin America today... but I still question, I still wonder, I still doubt.

Humanism is SO seductive...

Plus, it seems to bring out the worst of the anti-Christian bigots on the forum.

Some of us read it for a background education in what people believe and how they structure their justifications to be substantiated by further study. In that respect alone these threads do serve a vauled purpose.

On this particular discussion point I have indeed changed my mind. On the NeverEnding Threads I decided (tho I be a proddie) that Peter was indeed the rock. What that means does not necessarily lead down the RCC road. FWIW
