Just when I'd got my hopes up :(

[goonerboy]

Don't know if any of you saw this, but I signed up on RR to get some help for my RS (Religious Studies) exams in summer under the name RS_Student. At first I was welcomed, with Anddra (the Scottish mod) actually being quite nice and helpful, giving me a few scripture quotes, answering a few of my questions and pointing out how I could ask my questions in such a way as to not be offensive whilst giving his own opinions on what I was raising.

The same went for the ordinary posters there, with many "ask away" messages in my original thread explaining why I was there, then giving actual constructive answers to several questions.

Then (and I've mainpaged this) along came Buzzardhut:

Well, good thing you aren't doing a project that needs a eunuch's perspective.

Way to win people over, buzzardhut. 9_9

I would ask why they don't seem to care much about recruiting people, but RR always gave me the impression of people who live entirely on schadenfreude.

Rapture Ready I still say are their own cult and like most cults I know of, if you can't conform then your ass gets kicked to the curb. Besides I'm sure you could probably get better information from say christianforums.com.

Hell, you could probably ask some of us here. We're a hell of a lot nicer than the Rapture buffoons, and, despite what one might think, we do seem to have a number of Christian members within our ranks.

I think this sums up Christianity.

I'm actually a Christian as well and share a great deal of basic theology with the fundies. While I am pretty much the opposite of them on the sociopolitical and scientific issues, I do know a lot about their perspectives on them and their rationale for taking such views. If you'd like some answers, I'd be happy to share what I know.

New Christians ask questions after converting. Young people ask a lot of questions as well. I wonder if Buzzardhut is running a religious form, or a cult.

You'll get looked at strangely (at the very least) if you ask too many questions where I come from, even if you were homeschooled from third grade and were a 'Christian' from age 5. Childish questions were okay so long as you didn't get into 'dangerous' territory (i.e. anything more complicated than "Were there dinosaurs on the Ark?")

[Whore of Spamylon]

Buzzardhut you say?

I think I have heard that name somewhere.

He's a mod(or is he the admin?) over there on RR, and gets fairly militant at times. Seems to depend heavily on his mood, or cycle of the moon, or something.

I'd be willing to bet we know the bible better too. I mean, most of us here have read beyond Leviticus, Paul's misogynistic tirades, and John's Acid Trip Diaries (book of revelation).

[kristine]

;D ask away.

[SpaceProg]

How much time do you have left for your project? Maybe some of the Christians here could help? I'm one, and I know of... I think Sandman (?) even has several certifications and degrees in different theological topics.

I'm a bit new here so I don't know where everyone stands yet.

Not a project as such, I've got some exams in June.
