In reply to the discussion: Question about the nature of this Group [View all]darkstar3
(8,763 posts)33. That's a bad analogy.
You're a Christian, if I read correctly, and you wish to discuss articles of faith with other believers without the dissent that comes from non-believers. The "Christian Liberals & Progressive People of Faith" group is ideally suited to such a desire. Christians and any other believers who feel friendly to Christians are free to use that group as a safe haven, where no criticism or dissent on the existence of God will be found.
Furthermore, DU3 is new, and the groups have, in the past, seen very little traffic. Go make of it what you will. No one from here will stop you.

I think it can serve both purposes, but would like to see it more focused on the first.

Did you perhaps miss the "Progressive People of Faith" portion of the group title to the left?
