I'm far from Evangelical, born and raised as a roman catholic, went to catholic grade school and high school, but I like to think for myself and I have some issues with Dogma. That being said, I personally feel many here thumb their nose at Christians: Being a person that frequents the politics forums, many contentious issues are brought up due to the parlence of our times; it is stiffling and often times angering the level of ignorance that I see. Many people are serious misinformed or flat out, again the word ignorant, of the christian faith. Whether it is on the political issues past and present, read Pope Pius or the oft referred to but hysterical false statements surrounding the near millenia past crusades, or even current sentiments.
Way I see is, by and large this is a forum of something that would probably considered "progressive" thought; I constantly feel judged, and often insulted by comments levied and sentiments held (which admittedly would be tough to read over a medium of the internet, but I'm not some daft soak, its not tough to read where people are coming from nor where they are going).
In a blatant immediate sense no I do not feel unwelcomed, but as a Christian here I do often feel insulted. Then again I'm not evangelical, nor am I fiery defender of my mothers faith, I like to find out things for myself, so I try not to take offense, but still I find myself constantly frustrated at posts made and sentiments held.
