Discussion about Christianity by Christians and those who are curious.
Rule #1. Anti-Christian and anti-Bible statements will not be tolerated. Constructive criticism of Christianity is OK, however.
Rule #1.1. The measure for what is considered Christian, as has been the case in the faith since the earliest days, will be the faith proclaimed in the Nicene Creed.

That's kinda my take, too. I'm in an area of the States that is pretty non-Christian, but pastors who visit the area find that the Christians who are here are more "real." The complaint they often have is that Christians in other parts of the country think that being a Christian is just a part of an identity, like cultural heritage or your sports team.
Overall America has become divided over the years. Experts have various theories as to why (experts splitting into even MORE factions). And, of course, humans like to bend scripture to suit our needs (I realize I'm no different). So, yeah, you got yourself a "holy war" of sorts.
