Even other (mainline) Protestants take the same approach, Cronos, which is of course the Christian approach.

These fringe groups, the various freak cults you mention (Unitarians, English-Israelism, OPC, etc.) who are louder than their miserable numbers, are the ones who get their satisfaction by burning someone (an agnostic, atheist, Arminian, Catholic, doesn't matter) for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on a daily basis. To them a debating forum is a sacrificial altar.

Unless they label someone satanic, threaten them with hell, draw blood or flame anyone who disagrees with them their day isn't done. Nietzsche called people, who preach Christianity and love, but hate the whole world, the people or sessentement. How fitting.
Exactly -- Lutherans like those in the LCMS will reach out to bring people to Christ. They (and Anglicans and Methodists etc) will rejoice when anyone learns more about Christ.

The cults (Unitarians, English-Israelism, OPC, etc.) ARE louder than their miserable numbers and when they come on board any of these forums, instead of having a debate, we have them slinging insults.

I name Lutherans because we have lutherans here who debate and who strongly believe what they believe, but they do NOT toss mud around, they believe in actually telling us what they believe instead of just insulting. We can listen to them, they listen to us and we can actually learn.

With OPC cultists and others, they do not seek to explain their beliefs because they believe they are upper-caste Brahmins who have no need to do anything but insult the lower-castes.

If you ever get around to defending your faith with Scripture as Christians are called to do, be sure to let us know.
