It will be tailored to counter my beliefs, rather than give me information about their own.
If, for example, I want to know why someone believes in Christ. If I tell them I'm an Atheist, the discussion is ENTIRELY different than if I simply ask them why they believe in Christ and listen. Since the board enforces the "Post your opinion first" idea, I'd have to denote that I were an Atheist or completely lie and say I was a Christian. Neither is really productive when I just want information or perspective from real people that I won't get from Google.

What is so hard about this???
I don't believe in God, I want to understand why someone believes in Christ.
In 1 single sentence I fulfill the requirements of giving my opinon.
Personally I am thinking you are now being gunshy by the fact that your previous posts didn't go the way that you thought about them.
They may never. It's not in your realm to control it. It is what they become.
