Why are some christians here scared to debate? [Spirituality & Religion]

Are they really that unsure of themselves? They flood the place with their bullshit and quotes from their holy book. Then they delete opposing views and block anyone who doesn't buy into their delusions.

I've maybe posted one line from the bible on my profile, so no debate there, but I think the debate is the same every freeking single time. It tires you know.

@Classified: You're lucky. You can see some of their hate filled and intolerant posts on this site. A lot of them have blocked me because I challenge their bullshit.

@Sharon: I'm actually not paying attention to their posts, so dunno 😅.

I'm an atheist and I tend to approach most things by debate. However, if a religion is based on faith rather than provable truth, perhaps debate isn't the right method of discussion.

In the same way, I get people questioning science based on their feelings and instincts. That's also inappropriate.

@GlassDog: No proof is completely watertight but I agree it should be rigourous. It should also be open to challenge.

@suzie1960: Hmm, I think within some systems, there are elements which must be taken as logically axiomatic. Especially in mathematics, for instance.

@GlassDog: I think that's true of all proofs but the axioms are usually well founded in science.

They can't debate because they're incapable of independent thought. All they can do is post random quotes from their handbook.

They are afraid to delve too deeply into their beliefs for fear that they cannot defend them
