We do seem to display an inordinate amount of patience with certain people around here.  I can think of about a half dozen without having to pause for long.

this my dear is what diversity looks like.. diversity good for challenging one's self to grow and force one to think and create/innovate new thoughts. this also will ultimately help you understand where the strengths and weakness of your own positions are. this is also how critical thinking is induced into common subjects and how we can break away from the flock. if your thoughts can not be challenged then know your mind is stuck closed.

Don't ever refer to me again as "my dear".  I threw up in my mouth a little.

Drich is oblivious to what real people feel. He's the type of person who would light up in a health food store.

Does that same logic apply to you as well, that you defend your beliefs because you're insecure about them?  

Damn.  Ninja'd!

i am here as a teacher. i use you all to shape and sharpen what i believe. God along time ago answered all the questions i had concerning him and the bible. ( so i went to a christian forum answering christian questions for like 6 years) i saw my own limits way way back then. i knew if i wanted to learn more i had to challenge what i believed in ways i have never thought of. in essence i got bored helping christians answer the same questions over and over again, so at that time i went to the atheist portion of the website. where i started to learn new things because most of you would ask question i would never have thought to ask.

Yes i also found a cap on the question you ask and they do get repetitive, but i found if i not only answer the question giving a biblical response but do it in a common english way or par it with a story or weave it into a discussion i could teach without most of you knowing you are hearing a biblical principle. and over time it changes perspectives. 

I learned a long time ago you can not save the saved, but rather those who fall through the cracks the saved make in the way of religion.

granted this does get hard and i do have to take breaks from time to time as i think it help repopulate the website and give what we discuss time to sink in, i have seen massive change in people's theological pov.

None of that answers the question I asked. Answer the question.

generally speaking aside from trolls (who spend more time on christian sites) I found you all do to a degree or another.

when you guys come here asking the console "this christian says ABC and ZYX" how do i tell him off. you are looking for not only a belief to fill that gap in your mind but an answer who will also silence the christian. what to admit this to me or not that is a perfect example of an atheist looking for clarity

how long would a website last if it's purpose was to preserve the pride and integrity, of one group of people if it allowed someone from the opposition to destroy them and their primary arguments every time he posted?  verse how long would a website last that prides itself on diversity and thought to both sides of the discussion if it got rid of everyone who did not think alike?

I go where i am invited. I was invited over to the last place by a senior mod/owner of the site, was helped by that person several times to create an account and stabilize my account but ultimately had to let me go as too many of her major contributors were telling them it is him or me!

you gotta know which side your bread is buttered on.

Do we need that person to come over here AGAIN and explain it to you? It wasn't an invitation. You're fucking delusional. Your banning also wasn't "him or me" by some alleged number of other members. Would you like for me to go to the ban log and get a direct quote? Damn, you are a tool. And a troll, because by now it ought to be clear even in the two neurons that you rub together that you aren't educating anyone here about you imaginary playmate.

No, he doesn't, so he spams the ever loving fuck out of the site instead.

Yes yes, we know you pride yourself on your open septic tank of a skull cavity.

 From what I can see you have failed miserably in that goal.
