My guess is that many of them are interested in Christianity and/or want to talk about it and want to get involved in the dicussions but might be a bit shy or intimidated. Most are probably looking for a thread topic that makes them feel comfortable enough to post.

Some are probably very cautious due to having trust issues with other people and even Christains.

I know when I first started there were crazy arguments in the threads and after getting into a few I decided it wasn't worth the drama. I stay out of most of the biblical threads now. I just read and shake my head.

I can't blame them with so many Christians teaching false doctrine these days and not God's Word.

The Apostles had arguments and disagreements... the key is no letting any of it in to your thinking since other people are not your Lord and Savior... Jesus is always your first Love and the One Who is leading you.

Sometimes it's not worth posting because when minds are made up words don't work.. I can pray when I see a fixed mindset, that does wonders more than my words.. People who have fashioned themselves to debate have built their case and hit strong.. I haven't sat and thought out answers

I like reading but don't have much to say for the most part. It's one matter to post something non-conversational in one of the fun threads, but a whole different animal to throw poo back and forth with the "iron sharpens iron" types around here.

I'm rather quiet in person as well oft times I break into a random conversation when I hear a good topic.

I am really not interested in discussing much of what people post. Like: tell us about your nickname, women in leadership (will turn into an argument), The Sabbath (again most of us have our opinion and aren't really interested in changing it, discussion will turn into an argument), KJO - really, people still think KJ version is THE only authoritative bible???? - will turn into an argument), why Obama is the antichrist (again, really???) and on and on....

I do post, but on only a very few threads.

Maybe I am a curmudgeon....maybe I am particular about who I speak to about what. Sometimes I can't stop talking, but that doesn't happen here!!

I think that many people want to learn about God word but they don't want to be gang affiliated.

And by joing a Christian site that's what they think gonna happen.

I don't blame them, that how I am.

I like y'all, some of you help me through tough time,and I like being here,but I still feel kinda "off" for lack of a better word, for being part of a gang.
