I was just curious, and Im gonna sound stupid so buckle up. I think Im coming to relize that this site is Christian oriented. Not that everyone on this board is Christian of course, but it just seems like it was started with Christian ideals. And the majority here are Christian youth. Kinda like a big... youth group, am I wrong?

You can probably find one lying around...I think it's been done before. But make a new one, if you want, I don't care.

Excellent idea zzyzx. A poll, I call for a poll!

The religious classes of Y/N:

Christian
Weird Christian (such as me)
Pagan
Agnostic
Atheist
A religion they created (we've got some of those, right?)

And isn't sudha Hindu? If so, add that to the list.

I really think that Agnostic and Atheist combined double or triple that of Christian.

Or at least turns us in to the internet equivlent of a swarm of pirranha but less refined I think on some subjects.

Not to mention what going on in the world for example like if were debating a religous thing and some fresh meat from the political arena is shoved into to the middle of us we quckly switch from religous to political standpoints and attack each other over the fresh argument.

But, it also depends on how many of us gang up on one person in a debate, eh? lol

I'm not sure how long you've been on here, but in the time that I have observed it, the site seems to go through times where it is more dominated by one religion because of the topics that are debated. Many might dissagree with me, but I wondered about your very question for a long time. When I first got on here I thought that the evolutionists had taken over the whole site. But after a while a different group took lead in everything.

Recently it seems to be going back and forth between agnostics and Christians.

Actually I was surprised by the number of atheists/agnostics on this site.

very wrong. people all have different views on YN. randomly pick a thread and you'll see what i mean REALLY REALLLY quickly. there might be a lot of Christians, but thats prob b/c there are a lot of Christians in the world. but there are plenty other religions and people with out a religion or those who don't believe in a god.

but yea. definately not one huge youth group. stick around and stay tuned. im sure you'll like some of what ya see Smile

This site is not politically oriented (by the creators/maintainers anyway)... The boards have differing opinions... But, ya...

I didn't buckle (like you said to) and my head went through the computer screen. No Christian God came down to save me, either.

You're wrong. Almost all of these threads about Christianity are started by non-Christians. There's not nearly as many Christians on here as you would think...but most of the non-Christians are the cool ones anyway.

I'm sad. What ever happened to the threads about this site being atheist oriented?


What if what you think is great, really is great, but it's not as great as something greater?

Yes. Yes you are.
