/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

Also /his/ and /pol/ should be considered. That's a good place for banter and sharing the gospel to atheists

>sharing the gospel to atheists

what for? they don't want it.

>>850958

For their soul

forcing it onto them isn't gonna make them convert

Anything with forced ID is suceptible to activist mods punishing behavior they do not like. Activists do not like truth - that is why they became activist in the first place. So you can expect those positions to be filled by PC-police with their speech codes in their heads who are very ready to scrub out anything they disagree with. Reddit is even worse for these reasons plus for the simple reason that truth is not very popular either, but the upvote system rewards popularity, being trendy and doing things that entertain. It's basically a containment zone to draw away that crowd so hopefully less of that is found elsewhere.

The problem with forums is that you are rarely encountering someone's actual positions. Instead, you are largely speaking with and arguing against "personas" that have been built around a given username that people have tried to build up over time, usually many years of posting, so don't expect to get much in the way of direct expression of beliefs. The posters behind a username have spent years posting a certain way, they feel they have "invested" in that username in terms of time spent posting. They have a given persona and way of speaking, so it is incredibly unlikely that any of the routine users will revisit or contradict anything they have already said or done previously on the forum. That is what happens with histories tied to accounts, where having posted for years is seen as an object of prestige and gives you an advantage in an argument or discussion.

>Sadly, this is the largest Christian image board and we're pretty slow.

I mean the effects of the purge before the shutdown of the old site plus this place being incredibly hard to find does some damage (thanks Google!!). I think the model is sound and traffic may recover if the site in general ever has more traffic. I think they are tied together.

Obey the great commission

>>850962

Exactly

I'm hoping to find a forum that doesn't fall into that trap

Good thread OP, you rarely see that nowadays.

>catholic answers

I used to post on there from time to time. It grew pretty polarized between liberal Catholics/Jews and traditional Catholics towards the end, and it's shutting down at the end of this month. Depending on political leanings, people are either flocking to the trad sites or reddit. The recent election really ruined CAF.

>/pol/

It can be fun, but I wouldn't recommend it. Too much porn and uncharity, which can rub off on you and bring you down to their level if you're not careful.

The carm forum pictured recently reset with new software

>>850956

I do some evangelizing on tumblr. It's fine when people ask but they get pretty annoyed if you chime into their posts (since they generally consider their blog their own comfort area).

favors polemics and easy answers to lay-people/pagan questions, but may want to make you gouge your eyes out and is heavily demon populated. Speak softly and carry a big stick.

>>851008

Okay, I'm not so disappointed anymore.

>Also /his/

I go on 4/his/, it's nice, but the atheists there aren't interested in evangelism (fair enough, it's a history board, I go there for history), and the neopagans are absolutely insufferable (as all neopagans are). still, when a thread isn't just s—flinging, 4/his/ is a great board.
