I remember my few visits to the "Christian Liberals" group on DU2. Not much was posted there, and the group often went days without a single post, but what I found most interesting was the content of the few posts I found. It seemed more a place for a litany of complaints about R/T than anything else.

It just goes to show you that discussions don't actually happen unless there is someone with a differing viewpoint.

And the difference would be what? The idea that somebody dares to subject religion to critique? dmallind Dec 2011 #2
Thank you. That appears to be a definitive answer. TygrBright Dec 2011 #3
Leaving aside the lame typo gotcha, try one of the several theist only groups dmallind Dec 2011 #4
Sorry, didn't have any deities available to heal the lame. TygrBright Dec 2011 #5
or the condescending attitude apparently... dmallind Dec 2011 #8

Not a regular, but maybe if there were posts on those topics, I would be. MH1 Dec 2011 #12
I believe that Buddhism highlights a very important set of key insights... TygrBright Dec 2011 #13
So what exactly does "Divinity" mean? skepticscott Dec 2011 #18
That depends on at least two issues requiring further clarification. RTBerry Dec 2011 #22
In answer to my question skepticscott Dec 2011 #23
1. Whatever the believer believes it means; 2. Which yana? As stated in my post... TygrBright Dec 2011 #25
Well, if all Buddhism can declare is that skepticscott Dec 2011 #36

Here's an apparently novel idea darkstar3 Dec 2011 #21
I think it can serve both purposes, but would like to see it more focused on the first. cbayer Dec 2011 #24
I would like to see that, too. TygrBright Dec 2011 #26
Did you perhaps miss the "Progressive People of Faith" portion of the group title to the left? darkstar3 Dec 2011 #27

That's a bad analogy. darkstar3 Dec 2011 #33
A very good question Thats my opinion Dec 2011 #28
Do you intend to change your behavior? laconicsax Dec 2011 #32
It can be a place for both. Much of the OP content in R/T was posted by maybe 5 members, 2-3 of iris27 Dec 2011 #31
Maybe I am too much of a coward. TygrBright Dec 2011 #34
I can understand that, but I guess the only way to know is to try. I've never seen an AsahinaKimi iris27 Dec 2011 #35
