really did. Having it would have exposed the fact that they really had nothing substantial to discuss amongst themselves, and put the lie to their claims that the mean ol' atheists were spoiling all of the "deep" and "meaningful" discussions about faith and theology that they kept wanting to have.

Claiming to lack a place to themselves was just another way for some of the "liberal" and "progressive" believers here to play victim (again). The arguments that Christian Liberals and Progressive People of Faith was an exclusionary group were simply laughable.
