If someone is serious, I have all day. And I'll take the time to find out if they are, with everyone. What I don't like is how quickly a sibling will sometimes side with the newcomer if they don't think we're doing enough. Later on, take the kin to the side and discuss it.Yes one of the reasons I came to this website is because there were not atheists doing this stuff. Or at least none that I noticed. Heck I could go to christianforums.com if I wanted to deal with their hateful posts. I like interacting with christians and people who are generally interested in it. You are right, we shouldn't waste our time and energy. Like I said earlier they feed on it.
I can hear a visitor's thoughts, "If they do that with each other, what will they do to a stranger?"
