That is brilliant! I'm stunned If I didn't know better I'd say you were winding us up
Cool, that would be great! He can always lurk for a while first to see what he thinks before deciding whether to join up. We slag off religion a lot, I openly do so, but I'm very careful to attack ideas and not people. I ridicule ideas that are ridiculous. But I don't mean to pass on the insults to the actual people. Unfortunately, some people can't differentiate between themselves and their beliefs. As long as he can handle that, he'll get on great here I'm sure.
I'm very interested in what theists have to say, especially when it gets further than "atheists suck". If someone is debating honesty and reasonably, then I wouldn't start randomly slagging off their beliefs during that debate. I tend to have fun with general religious beliefs in other threads, sometimes just for kicks, and sometimes to make a point, but not aimed at any particular person. I appreciate this is somewhat of a lion's den, so I respect theists who come here looking for honest interaction.
I think it's important for people to be able to laugh at themselves, and for ideas not to be taken too seriously and held to be above criticism or humour. I even like making fun of atheism sometimes Bunch of nerds with their notebooks and their telescopes and their conclusions and their refusal to acknowledge obvious evidence.
