Re: Suggestion
I think people like Nessa here are good for our community. J's concern regarding apologetics seems sincere to me though ill-worded.

It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if
the Thing on the ice got them tonight.
I could only turn and stare in horror at the chief surgeon.
Death by starvation is a terrible thing, Goodsir, continued Stanley.
And with that we went below to the flame-flickering Darkness of the lower deck
and to a cold almost the equal of the Dante-esque Ninth Circle Arctic Night
without.

Re: Suggestion
Seriously,
How difficult is it to scan over the list of active topics, and just bypass the ones that don't interest you.

Re: Suggestion
Another suggestion since this thread is still open..
There will be Christians on here who aren't great at apologetics...
... and I think there should be extra grace for these people.
Even something added to the rules and regulations..
Or the 'not so great' apologists will not have any motivation to join in discussions and learn.
I'm aware that to some more 'seasoned' apologists... that they will be doing this alot during these discussions...
and therefore might be tempted to do this 
or this 
but the 'not so great' apologists will be also doing this
and this 
alot and feeling 
and eventually doing this 
cos they become 
What do you think?
Edit: I bring this up because i see the tone that is in alot of the apologetic discussions and although it may be appropriate (though at times i wonder...) for the more seasoned apologists.... it would personally drive me away..

Re: Suggestion
Nessa,
I've found that the best way to approach topics that I'm not experienced in, such as apologetics, just post in a humble manner. Come across as someone who is sincerely trying to learn, and the more knowledgable apologists here will be patient with you.
In fact, I've found that in whatever topic I'm trying to learn about, if I'm sincerely trying to learn, people go out of their way to help.
