The point was raised in HM Rob's thread, in a strange manner that didn't work so well.
So here's a direct question for the atheists of Secular Sevens; what would it take for you to become a Christian?

Edited by Ryan: 8/12/2013 12:11:40 PMI don't know if I could become a Christian. I am not saying that I wouldn't acknowledge his existence and the soundness of Christianity (assuming significant evidence verified both of those) simply because of all the ignorance and hate that Christianity (and other religious beliefs have caused). For instance, pretty much the number reason for all of the hate on LGBT folks is due to religion. The Old Testament says "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; [b]they shall surely be put to death[/b]; their blood is upon them". That is pretty deplorable. Some may respond by saying that humans misintrepreted God's Rule or some shit. Well, God should have known that and a responsible God wouldn't have yet that happen especially knowing all the hate to LGBT teens that it would bring into the future. I honestly don't think that I could follow a God that allowed such. Please understand though, that I am not rejecting his existence at this point or the truthfulness of Christianity, I am only not becoming a Christian.
