I've asked Valkyrie to remove my account.  I have posted my last post here.

To be claimed to be on a crusade for simply challenging ideas and provoking thoughts which I assumed (wrongly) was the point of this forums existence is something I no longer will choose to be a part of.  I appreciate those that have participated respectfully over the years.  It's become unfortunately apparent to me that the accepted goal of the forum is to mock and vilify religion and theists, which is unfortunate.  I wish you all the best.

God bless.

You are free to be as challenging as you want, and everyone else is as free to challenge you back. Sorry it got too uncomfortable for you though. I certainly wouldn't want all the blowback I could expect if I went to a Christian or Muslim forum to present them with challening ideas and provoking thoughts. I suspect I might get the impression that the purpose of those forums is to mock and vilify secularism and atheists.

Although from what I hear, almost all of them would ban me before I was ready to retreat.

Anyway, best of luck to you and yours.

That people have mocked and vilified you has little to do with religion or theism and everything to do with you as a person. But feel free to scapegoat and blame if it makes you feel better.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

Your thread topics were more proselytizing, less honest discussion. Sad to see a long-time member rage-quit. Enjoy your journeys.

Aww.

Gotta love the martyr complex. Those meanies kept asking hawd questions! I'm leaving and neva commin back!

I'm sure you'll find an echo chamber that will tell you exactly what you want to hear.

May FSM bless you. RAmen

If you give but cannot take it back then this is not the place for you.

It's a pity, because you have a good head on you and are genuinely a decent person.

You seem like a decent guy, so hope things work out well for you.

You posted this before I could DM you back.
