I am Christian, Methodist denomination and also a Libertarian but not a hard and dried one, cos I differ in views esp in gay marriage and abortion issues (me being Christian and all).

I usually lurk and observe in new environments until I feel comfortable enuff to speak up more, but this place looks promising to me and I shd come out from my 'cave' soon.

Look forward to talking more and debating then

Now...Welcome to DP, we only bite when theres blood in the water.

I am no newcomer to theological debates. I hail from the yahoo religion and political rooms and winmx chatrooms (where I hosted a Christian room once) tho I have to admit I am stronger debating Christianity than debating politics. But unlike many other Christians, I never have a problem jiving with non-Christians (most of my best friends R atheists and agnostics btw

I always feel that Christians shd have an 'open door policy' and be more accepting of others, be less judgmental towards other ppl and extend more love and acceptance to everyone. The world would be a much better place then. If u really think about it, other than our different beliefs, we r not that much different from one another anyway. We all have the same needs and we all bleed.

The world has lost too much blood focusing on our differences that divide us. Let's see if we can build a common future on what similarities that bond us together instead.

Oh btw, I apologize if I seem to make everywhere I go a Christian debate place... (I am aware that we debate politics here and I do get carried away talking about Christianity I believe that if u care deeply about certain things, it pervades everything u do from what u think and talk about to how u live yr life.

To clarify why I differ from other Libertarians, I am against gay marriage since I am Christian. I am pro-life yet I do not support abortion laws feeling strongly that if u ban abortion, it won't stop teens from engaging in pre-marital sex. It only makes them have nowhere to go but backalleys for botched-up abortions by unqualified doctors. Banning abortion isn't the right solution to preventing unwanted pregnancies, but sex education at younger ages to help our teens be aware and to make educated and informed choices.

Oh drats now I remember this place is just for intro and not serious debates... I will stop here then

(Even a few educated ones) But then, judging by your response above, I don't think you'll have much trouble defending yourself -- or your faith.
