I am also Christian.
I was just thinking about who else is Christian here and have finally posted (after almost 2 years!) another post in the Christian Social group. I'd like to get social group up and running again.

It doesn't look like there are many of us here, sad to say. But always glad to meet another one!

It might just be that people don't want to have a religious discussion here.

Please don't use 'like' as a filler word this way, it's awful and makes me picture a blonde sub-urb girl with uggs and Starbucks who uses it as every 3rd word.
There's a group for religious simmers. Post your religion-related stuff and questions there

If you remember me, I'm awesome!

What exactly is wrong with blonde suburban girls who wear Uggs, drink Starbucks and say "like" a lot?

I feel like assuming that anyone who uses "like" as a filler is spoiled is a bit of a reach, really.

Isn't that what Stereotypes are about?

Fuck it, sorry. I'm just not thinking about what I'm doing and saying.

This topic merely asks who defines themselves as belonging to a specific group. Hardly a full fledged discussion.

I agree that religion should be kept to religious groups. Some people have been personally victimised by religion and Christianity, it would be very easy for an argument to break out. It's too sensitive a topic.

I imagine there are many christian simmers, and muslims, sikhs, pagans, buddhists and many others, but declaring it in a "public" space is just self segregating. Also, these threads are supposed to promote discussions, not just "i am" "me to".

All the OP wanted to know was whether there were Christians on this site. That's all. He/she didn't start singing hymns or passing a collection plate. It was a question. Christians are allowed to ask questions just like anyone else. Perhaps he or she was looking for a friend on the site and wanted to know whether there was anyone who shared his or her values. It was never meant to be a discussion about particular beliefs or to separate others. I wouldn't expect that anyone who is not a Christian would have come on the thread to answer.

There's this cool little thing on the thread page. It's titles. You can see what each discussion is about before you decide to click on it. It I see a title that says, for example, "Is anyone on this site 6 fingered?" I wouldn't click on it and get involved in the discussion because it simply does not concern me. The same applies to questions like "anyone muslim, atheist, descended from apes.

If you have strong antiChristian views or feel victimized by Jesus, perhaps this isn't the thread for you. It just looks to be like a quick question to check to see whether there are any kindred spirits on the site.

Sorry for the double post. I went back and read what I had written, and it might seem a bit harsh. That was not my intention. I hope no one was offended, but the truth is no one seems to care if the Christians on this site are offended by their statements.

That is their right. And it was the OP's right to ask a question to begin with.

Some people have been personally victimised in a failed marriage. Shall we not ever mention marriage again? Some people have been personally victimised by a friend or family member. Shall we just never talk about human beings again? Would that suit?

The level of tippy toeing being suggested here is absurd. To date, this thread has gone no further than "I am Christian too" and we're already getting our heads bitten off for it. There's subjects I don't like either but I don't expect the whole society around me to change especially when no ill intent has been shown.

I'm not a Christian though I was forced by my father to try and be in the past, but I have thought about giving it another try.

That's not why I'm posting though, I'm posting to agree with what Bubblebeam said. The way I see it is if you don't like people talking about religion, or if you see any other threads with a title about something you might not like then why even go there in the first place? No one is forcing anyone to go into a thread that is clearly aimed at Christians, or any other thread that you may not like or find offensive either. I swear too many people now go out of their way to look for things they don't like or are offended by. If it's something you don't like or something that offends you then just stay away from it. Unless someone is forcing it on you then avoid it, it's that simple.

People have been victimized by every different belief/religion and group. I really don't see how it's self segregating to say publicly what your beliefs are. That is, if you can do so without being rude/hateful about others. I'm actually quite fascinated by different lifestyles, so I would be very interested in hearing what everyone here thinks/believes and how they do things. That is, if it could be done without anyone getting hateful and/or offended.

Your offense is your responsibility, not mine or anyone else's. I feel a lot of younger folks seem to think others are supposed to protect your feelings. The real world is not like that.

I agree with this to a certain extent. There are some lines that shouldn't be crossed, like if someone is being intentionally hateful and offensive.
