Whew, read though all 7 pages. Here's a few thoughts to wish to add that didn't seem to be mentioned. Not to stir more strife, but to address the points that could hopefully bring peacefully resolution to what seems to me to be the core or underlying issues of debate.

1) There's seems to be a quite a bit of bitterness at towards the hypocritical words and actions of "religious" people on both sides of the fence. Understandably so.

Sometimes it feels as the jerk in class is the only one who gets the most attention. It would be unfair to call everyone in the class a jerk, because of the actions of one individual.

2) Hypocrisies

When those who call themselves "Christians" use words and actions directly opposite of what they ought to, such as false charity, "holier than thou" attitude and arrogant knowledge; (memorized the scriptures by heart, but not understanding the heart of the scriptures), its not hard to see where that bitterness come from.

3) Converting Believers

People, particularly Christians don't have the power nor right to "Convert" someone else. That's between the person and God.

Christians do have the responsibility to share the truth of the gospel. St Francis of Assisi said it best, "Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words."

4) There were other issues, but I don't have the answers for them at this time. To those who actually read this whole post, Thank you.
