You may or may not know, but I like to preach to atheists on twitter. When I read their posts, I find a common theme
We're just as 'good' as people who are Christians
We have morals
We have standards
We live fulfilling lives.
So, I thought it might be interesting to have some discussions on this.
I am arranging for 3 Christians and 3 atheists to meet once a week to talk about our lives - with or whithout God as the case may be. These will be non-confrontational talks.. To compare. To talk. To encounter each other.
If you want to keep posted on the schedule, simple post on this discussion. I will be posting the time and dates of the discussion. It will be web-cast so you can listen either live or a recorded version.
Thanks for your interest!

I am happy to be involved in this on the proviso Zdenny is not. As per our previous discussion via email and my blog I am available after 5pm most weekday nights GMT and you have my Skype contact already.
Sound like a great idea!
Sounds like a great idea. I don't know if you've found three Atheists yet, but if you need someone I'd be happy to participate.
I am not sure which Atheists you are listening to, but I do not know of ANY who think they are "just as good" as christians. That, quite honestly, is an insult to me as an Atheist. Not only do I believe that those who have evolved beyond religion, stand on a higher moral ground, but that most Atheists have a much better grasp on reality, are more open minded, more compassionate, and just simply have more common sense than any christians that I have met.
I think what Juanita was hoping for, at least at first Charles, was an attempt at finding some common ground so we can better identify our differences without it having to be an entirely confrontational thing. And I say that as a fully paid up left behind, fag loving, pro-healthcare, anti-ignorance evolved ape myself too. I'm quite looking forward to it.

With respect Charles I think you're looking for a way to take offence where none was intended. This is a placeholder thread which Juanita posted to let people know, who've been waiting for the opportunity to join in on a spoken word debate for some time, that we're finally getting it together.
There'll be plenty of time to argue over semantics later—for now I think you'd do well to stick around.
