For the most part, when you post an opinion here about ANYTHING, it is going to be discussed. However, when you present a DOCTRINE here, it will be debated and argued over and chewed into minute pieces until it no longer resembles what the original thread was about... and somewhere in the middle of all that, yes, there are people here who care about each other. I know I do at least. I've prayed for the prayer requests mentioned, and when it seemed that a brother/sister was in need of prayer as evidence by their posts.
This may not be a "lovey-dovey sugar plum and pie in the sky" place, but these people are all real, and (I believe) all seeking to please Jesus. That is a common bond, and one that helps to overlook the few that think it is their way or the highway for everyone else. Most feel free to post their opinions, thoughts, and facts, and be accepting with a disagreement, although there are a few that love to debate every.last.little.word.you.say!
Hang on, stay around, and I believe you'll learn a lot
