I do have a desire to learn - it's you who is not willing to discuss. The whole SF is still waiting for your reply to "the prophet" in John 1:19-25.

Should I not be obsessed with "Christians and the Bible"?

I seriously doubt that all of SF is waiting for my reply in that thread.

Or was that another over-generalization?

Let's call it a hyperbole, shake hands, and split the difference.

If you have a strong desire to discuss Christianity, there are forums for that. Someone who genuinely expresses a desire to learn is not likely to be banned from one. Some Islamic forums even have a place dedicated for interfaith discussions. This one does not; which is why I try my best not to post things of that nature, out of respect for the forum. There are other Islamic forums where I have engaged in quite lengthy interfaith discussions.

Should you not be obsessed? By all means, whatever floats your boat. Perhaps as you continue to study the Bible and Christianity, with a sincere desire to learn, you will find the answers to the questions that you seek.

I doubt your desire to learn. Someone with a desire to learn does not approach the questions with a biased answer already in mind.

If you find the true answers to the questions that you seek, and you still disagree, then that is different. For example, I completely 100% understand the notion and conceptualization of a "trinity," but it is a doctrine that I reject and disagree with. My rejection of the "trinity" does not stem from a lack of understanding, nor from ignorance. It was through much research that I reached the conclusion that I hold.
