its seems to be a social club & just like all the theist forums
ie they assume righteousness & we have to play debunk & defend 24/7

shouldn't we be the default & they have to prove every claim they make with evidence* ?


*the bible isn't evidence & should not be quoted for or against anything as its utter fiction#
#my evidence for that claim is the utter lack of evidence for it being factual~
~naming some places & people who are real doesn't make the stories real


pretty sure im going to be out of here by month end to be honest & you can flame me if you like for saying ^^^ its how I see it tbh

Hmmm, so are you saying you don't like rock crushers?

I DO NOT hate my fellow humans. I love my mom and she was my biggest supporter, but just like religion, if she went around every day claiming, "The New England Patriots beat the Houston Astros in the Stanley Cup" every single day, I'd still love her, but the claim would still drive me nuts.

But no, if theists or even atheists think I should shut up when religion is used to justify bigotry/xenophobia/homophobia/science denial,  or violence, no, I will not be quiet and will not be polite about it. If our species never questioned social norms we would not have our modern pluralistic west.

Point of being here?

To talk to people,
make friends,
explore differences,
have a laugh,
be human.

Don't want to be here, well there is no compulsion.

anything else?

Do you care about changing Theist minds?  Or are you only interested in insulting them?  If you care about changing their minds, or highlighting logical fallacies, then you have to actually talk to them, buddy.  Did it ever occur to you that a Theist might be here because they are having doubts?  You miss an opportunity to actually exchange ideas with an open minded person if you just say to them, "your Bible is garbage, STFU."  And believe me; that gets said around here plenty to our resident theists who have already proven themselves time and again not interested in listening.  

You asked what the purpose of the forum is.  I ask you; for what purpose do you debate theists?  Why do you do it?  If you just like putting people down for the fun of it...then you're simply an asshole of a person, lol.

all evangelising is wrong
Christian forums debate too
I don't debate I refute
put religions down, bad ideas down but those who carry them in their mind take it as them down
offence is taken not given
you could have left out the last sentence as its based on your assumption & just refuted
that's on you now as it seems you just put me down............ asshole Wink

Chorlton, why don't you try lurking for a few days before signing up at a new forum? It can save you a lot of disappointment and frustration.

There's a darned good reason I only have about half a dozen forums bookmarked, including a couple that have nothing to do with atheism. One size definitely does not fit all.

Don't like, "if, then"?  😏  So, you don't care about changing minds?

There may not even be a point to the entire universe. If our little slice of it sends you into high dudgeon, you've only yourself to blame.

Needs more dragons before it can be a right rage quit, though.

...and if you're "done", why is this thread on page 9 ?
