and the way I understand what you are saying is not so much about this instance but about a general attitude in the face of circular logic. But your reaction deserves a little time and thought to think about and ask questions as to why do you think that this board is "Christian by default"? Could it be that this impression is because most of the people here, who come from and belong to that belief system, don't know how to relate to others who don't think like them?
I am not a coordinator or anything at all in this site but if were asked, I'd say that this is a real great board if its purpose is to facilitate the interaction of people like you and I, who are not afraid to ask questions. Am I naive to think that this board is open to all?
In the past, whenever this topic came up, some of the coordinators behind this site explained it very well and I didn't see them taking sides like this time.
But by the same token, it is up to us -- the ones with the questions and the more generalistic view, to filter out those answers we see as incomplete, agressive or too dogmatic, even if they come from coordinators. :-)
