29. I'd say most of the forums listed under "Main" are hostile to believers.

The DU Lounge
Ask the Administrators

I don't read "Good Reads" often enough to know the hostility factor there, but would guess it's similar to the rest. The Lounge is borderline, partly because they do sometimes get to talk about ghost stories and the like without getting taken to task by the detractors.

I just skimmed the story in LBN about Pope Francis not supporting the use of recreational drugs. As with any other personally Liberal ideal/agenda, if the Pope isn't 100% in favor of it and all other ideals, then he isn't worth even 1% of support for all of the other good things he does.

I'm not a Christian, but I still like him and think he's making good progress. Some people on DU are just too stubborn for words, much less trying to exchange words with them...
