Theists on forums talk about God. Atheists on forums talk about no god, i.e. nothing. You've got 4,940 posts here, so it seems you have an amazing amount to say about nothing...

That's quite shocking(!)
Not really. They've always been that aggressive and thoughtless. Just go back a number of years and they were burning people alive at the stakes for simply having a little doubt. Driving nails into knees, drowning women, stoning and much more.
So to see this kind of behaviour from them doesn't really surprise me. You don't really see any atheist forum portraying that sort of unacceptable and childish behaviour.
Perhaps being god-less brings out the best of humanity.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

I am thinking that there are a great many things to talk about than a petty egotistical wannabe deity...4,940 posts kinda proves it??

You know better than that, R/S. I just lie in wait and wait for them to stumble into my crosshairs. Then I Palinize them!

I enjoy a nice civil debate with many Christians. I wish there were more of them here to debate. I guess some would prefer to run them off by bashing, rather than encouraging them into a rational discussion... leaving us stranded on this tiny atheist island together, proudly glad-handing each other in agreement.

Your assumptions are inaccurate azharrison. There are quite a number of theists on this forum who are quite capable of presenting their chosen beliefs sans the regurgitated religious rhetoric. Trouble is many just want to proselytize and so they are banned. Argue with us YES start your sunday school preaching NO
Have a GOOD look around... tackattack, fr0d0, Rayaan to name but a few.

Strange that, since the main reason that I frequent this forum is because there are theists who are happy to debate their beliefs.
And they don't get banned for that. They only get banned when they preach or just tell us we're all going to hell for our disbelief.

4,940 times?
According to the ICC that would qualify as genocide.
Your victims themselves would probably call it persecution... like a 21st century Torquemada. Are you sure you're not his reincarnation, returned to haunt the devout?
