I personally love the idea of allowing people to log on as unregistered guests. Forget the avatars and personal histories and just let your ideas float, or sink, in the collective discussion. Leave the personal stuff out, as much as we can.
Of course, the downside is anonymous flamers but still it's good to not focus on personalities but rather on ideas.
"Jesus" is somehow an idea for me, an ideal, a representation, that I hope will never be crushed, let go, or contaminated, or bypassed. What He represents is the best hope for both me and all of humanity, all of creation, even. I have never seen an idea like Jesus Christ the Nazarene.
You may say, But He's a Person, not an idea. Yes, well even if he were an idea, I would believe. Because this universe has never, and will never, offer me anything as good as what He represents.
"God loved us and sent His Son." Somebody top that idea, please.
