Now personally, I wouldn't nail down Christians as a unified group. Even within the CC Christian community I've seen posters talk about "Catholics or Christians", where I would generally think of Catholics as Christians. Back in the 17th century, Protestants used to label Catholics as atheists, and to a certain extent vice-versa.

Now I think that atheists are a pretty diverse group. No set of dogma- however much the evolution threads play out, for example, not all atheists believe or care about evolution, and not all Christians are creationists. Even within evolutionary theory, there are diverse views, and I doubt many would consider themselves Darwinist as if he was the be all and end all of evolution.

So, do Christian posters portray Christian thought correctly, or are there some who misrepresent Christian positions on confession, infant baptism, the hierarchy of the church, contraception, and missionaries, for example.

Can any Christian honestly say that they portray Christianity correctly? Surely nobody's that perfect.

Also, look halfway down the list of threads in AN. BBS already made this thread.

Yea, and you also used my joke. I'm going back to that thread!

I guess I can make it more interesting:

1) Political: Essentially the CC political system within these two threads presents not a set of opposing ideas, but two candidates who are basically saying the same thing, but in slightly different ways. Much like the Romney/Obama showdown. Neither is significantly different from the other.

2) Rhetorical: Why would anyone want to involve themselves in that thread?

3) Evolutionary: This is clearly a different thread, but was it the result of an intelligent designer?

4) Religious: Would Jesus abandon this thread?

5) Trayvon Martin: Are you saying you're against standing your ground?

6) Patriotic: You can't argue the American side against a British poster anymore?

7) Racially charged: Is this a race thing?

8 ) Reverse-racially charged: Are you saying this isn't a race thing?

9) Unnecessarily insulting: Moron

10) Politically and religiously controversial: Mormon?

I don't think CC christians more or less accurately portray Christian positions than any other worldwide random selection of Christians would. I guess you could label the reasons for such variation as "memetic drift" but I think that would send our creationist friends into overdrive.

Interesting, you don't think Jesus had a human aspect? Some Christians would find that heretical.

It was utterly unclear that it was intended to be a joke if not completely absent.

Ambiguity, my friend, ambiguity.

If that's the case, then I was also making a joke.

Kind of a surreal argument, but accepted. I guess it's Christian in some denomination.

You could say I one-upped your ambiguity...

Eh, I'll keep failing at ambiguous humor. Maybe because my mind doesn't work that way.
