Religious people get very little reps, it's xenophobia and religionism.

You should not care about rep points, Winter. It's meaningless. I'm glad you're here because I don't see many Muslims around these parts, although I don't really go into the Islam part of the forum so maybe there are more Muslims posting in there. It's good to hear the perspective of a Muslim, even if I disagree with you much of the time.

I'm here to play devils advocate, so I'm not looking for rep or to play part in a popularity contest. My forum username is specifically a knock on religious atheists, which probably include half of the regular atheist posters here. They follow the religion formerly known as atheism plus, which now simply goes by the name of the religion of Soc Jus.

I don't need rep points, because being proven correct is more than enough for me. I was mocked for being the only one willing to come out and say there's a good chance SARS-CoV-2 escaped from a lab. I was called a conspiracy theorist and lots of people liked those posts and gave rep to the mockers, but now the mainstream media and even Dr. Fauci himself has done a complete 180 and the mainstream is now taking the lab leak hypothesis very seriously and asking questions about it daily. I was right, and that's enough for me. The mockers have egg on their face and shot themselves in the foot. They were repped over and over for posting what has now been exposed as nonsense, so Winter, what are those reps really worth when they got them for acting like they knew it all, when they are now being bit in the ass by reality and their position has been exposed as the truly foolish position.

I understood that coming out against BLM was going to make those who are incapable of thinking very deeply paint me as a Rush Limbaugh type of character and that I might never be able to get rid of that reputation, even if I point out that I'm so liberal on some issues, I not only support abortion at 9 months, but I would even say I would support post birth abortion in some cases, but it's easier for people to argue against my positions if they pretend I'm Rush Limbaugh and pretend that I hold all of these positions that I don't actually hold.

Aren't you the cutest little troll ever?

You are a fraud.

Personally I find it sad that one misguided accusation of unfair treatment was all it took for some people to indulge their hatred towards religious people and thereby inadvertantly support the point of the OP.

I’m proud to stand aloof from that crowd - I didn’t ‘inadvertently support’ Winter’s position, I openly embraced it. Part of it, anyway.

i honestly dont think it matters too much for religious people to be repped.. most of us are not here for that. plus if you are religious and do get alot of reps it is because you are saying things (or are hot) that worldly people want to hear. If you do your job right over time the reps will come from people who can not deny the truth.

Do you find a lot of people looking for clarity with regard to Christianity hanging out on atheist sites?

Atheists get max reps on this site for stupid posts.
like an atheist says: "hoo !", you find 10000 people repping them for saying just "hoo".

Religious people get very little reps, it's xenophobia and religionism.

Why should I "rep" posts I disagree with?

No, he gets punted. This is the only one that I've seen give him more and more chances.

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.

generally speaking aside from trolls (who spend more time on christian sites) I found you all do to a degree or another. As most of you are looking for others of you to support or prop up what you elected to believe. As people who are sure of their positions rarely have a need to defend it. those defending or looking for others to help them define what they believe are trying to find confidence in what they believe so they can come to the point where it no longer needs to be defended.

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.

Explain why you are constantly defending your beliefs since you think that's a sign of not really being sure of them, Sport.

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

Damn. Ninja'd!
