It seems to be that some believe that certain debates should be off the table - while others believe that everything is worth debating. I think many people (myself included) will play devil's advocate (skip the easy joke here please) in order to better understand why we believe the things we do. The points I argue are not always indicative of where I stand. Some are, and some are hypothetical.

I attend a UPC church. We believe in repentence, baptism in Jesus name (22 last Sunday), and receiving the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking with other tongues. I realize that alone isn't enough my many's standards, but I am apostolic. And in my opinion, everything worth believing is worth questioning.

There are great people on this forum. I don't agree with all of them, but I enjoy the conversation. If you are so easily derailed by the conversations then why not go find a "pat me on the back" style forum where everyone can tell each other how great they are. I guess I don't get. If you don't like it - why stick around?
Great post Fritz.

I would just say - it's fine to stick around and disagree with the bulk of the threads if need be.

There are a great many "rooms" here even a prayer room. So everyone find something you enjoy and let the rest of the world go by...
