I’m looking for a good Christian debate forum. Any suggestions?

We are all curious as to how someone could be in this world and explore all this world has to offer and somehow come to the conclusion of self-hate or hate. Please, get to reading. There is more than one book in this world. There is more than one possibility of life's meaning. And there are certainly hundreds of different ways to interpret the Bible. You are not going to change your mind and that's fine. But you cannot honestly tell yourself that you are on this site for gentle and compassionate purposes. If you changed your sexual orientation, you were bi to begin with. Believe me. I would know. There are many outlets to discuss the topic you so desperately want to discuss. Soulforce exists as a gay-affirming organization. That is not going to change. There are so many people out there that need our message. Your message has been scientifically proven to be psychologically damaging.

The thoughts expressed above, while they are written by someone who feels like they are a part of Soulforce, express the feelings and opinions of the author and not necessarily those of Soulforce.

Most people, including heterosexuals, interpret the Bible in some measure from their own experience.

If my experience is anywhere near common, gay fundamentalist/evangelical Christians determine that homosexuality is OK when they decide that reading the Bible and prayer won't eradicate or alter sexuality. And then they decide that ideology isn't a substitute for companionship. And then they decide that Biblical interpretations that don't work should be discarded or changed.

And then they don't let heterosexual preachers (some of whom have six or more children and a perpetually pregnant wife) interpret the Bible for them.

Anyone is welcome to come and debate on my new board, but behaviour is monitered. Not because of bad folks, but to remind ourselves we all respond to the image of God.

Seriously, I don't. And I'm not proud of it either.

Thanks for the tip, but at this point, it's rare that I hear an anti-gay argument or approach that I can't easily shred or rebut. I've paid my dues on that front. Fortunately that's true of a lot of people at this point. Here and on other sites.

Have you tangoed with them, on that site or others?

It's his board, and his arguments are old and pre-defeated.

Thanks Matt, I completely missed the connection.

Not hiding the wizard. That's pretty funny.

I wonder why "ex gays" even come here. It must be frustrating banging their head against a wall. I don't go to hetero sites and tell them I'm an "ex-het" and that they could change. Maybe because I know it doesn't work that way.

Once I went to a demo outside a love won out conference. There was a feller there with a little dog. The dog was wearing a sign that said "ex-cat."
It was pretty funny.
