Are there any "ask the theists" websites?

Is there something like this website for theists? A site where people can ask Christians, or Muslims, etc., for their perspective on matters?

You may also find sub-forums about religion on general forums. Here in Ireland there’s a forum site boards.ie, which has Religion forums filed under “Society”.

The site Fundies Say The Darndest Things has links to various “hard core” religious sites, mostly Christian sites such as Rapture Ready, so caution is advised.

I was not able to find anything as of yet that would come close to the theist version of asktheatheists.

In general, there are many theist sites that dictate to the readers the tenets of the religion in question without allowing discussion.

There is a site called askmuslims which is a blog with posts allowing commenting.

This site has (had?) an ask the Rabbi feature (though it seemed it was an one-shot deal!)

Not to leave the Christians out, this site has a static ask feature for Christians.

Askthetheists would be an interesting endeavor to say the least. Though some theists like Tony Blair are focused on building interfaith communities, all I can do is to chuckle as all the various religious brands believe they have the true product and don’t take kindly to sharing advertising space.

Even though atheists are only linked through their lack of god belief, they can share net space while theists who you would think are united even more strongly, by their 'inspirational’ faith in god, don’t.

Blair can blather all he wants regarding theists uniting, but in general, despite the predominance of theists, they don’t seem to warm up to the idea of working together easily. They are way more fragmented despite their greater numbers than the much smaller atheist group.

In addition, the net presence of the specific religious brands seem to be much more focused on dishing out information without allowing direct and non-moderated questioning.
