But he definitely has a valid point. This is why I go to atheist and agnostic sites and not Christian sites. If I stay within my own group we can validate something that is “wrong”. I test my beliefs here, and if they hold up, maybe, just maybe, we are on the right path.

Not sure what you meant by the first statement.

I mean this as a compliment .. You seem an atypical Christian to me.
Broadly speaking (for me) Christians fall into two "types" Accepting ... you know those who happily go to church most Sundays, by and large are good people, understanding of the nature of society and get on with their lives. The other "type" I might describe as Converting ... They want change and perhaps are not happy with the status quo. I need to be saved apparently. I know this a very broad generalization. It is the latter type that we meet on forums, as the accepting group have lives to live.

I suppose my question is when you visit Christian sites what is your opinion of them? Can you suggest a Christian site for somebody with my temperment?
