What's with all the new christian members?

[Aegrus]

Seriously, there's a new introduction from a christian every time I log on. It seems like there aren't usually so many. Perhaps a christian forum is trying to flood us with its members? Are there just tons of multis?

What say you, christians? Is there some kind of conspiracy here? (Not that I expect you to tell me if there is, lol.)

Atheists- am I wrong? I don't often check the member introductions, aside from during the last few days. Are there always so many Christians joining, or is this weird?

This is a sign of the End of Days and that Jesus wants as many souls saved as possible so the righteous like myself have been feel compelled to hunt out the unbelievers and spread the good word that Jesus wants to be your friend before it's too late.

This is absolute proof that Jesus loves you and want nothing more than to save you from oblivion and have you at his side worshiping him for all time.

Doesn't that sound like a pretty good deal?

Good god, you have to be a poe.

[Saved]

Your statement is at least half right

It actually sounds kind of scary. Reminds me of the "Day of the Dead". I think you're kind of like zombies. Your brains are gone, you're dead to this world and now expect to live forever in your unnatural state.

Well you'll never eat my brains. I'm keeping them. Frankly I'd rather die a natural death than to roam the earth converting the last living souls into more of God's undead hoard.

It sure would be a sick joke if it turns out the world is just the world, there are no magic beings in it and when you die you'll just be more mulch like the rest of us. Perish the thought. Just go convert others. It'll keep any reasonable doubts from creeping in.

And what exactly seems to be the problem?

They are as annoying as having fleas in your jockstrap. Itchy, blood-sucking parasites with nothing useful to offer.

It's not the fact that they are theist members which get on my tits. For me it has pretty much nothing to do with their theism. Rather there seems to be a huge influx of complete retards who intend on preaching and ignorance rather than actual constructive debate.

The fact that they tend to be Christian is of no real concern to me, they could be just as likely buddhists or rastafarians for all I care. It's not who they are which pisses me off it's how they act when they are here.

Saying this place is for both atheists and theists is all well and good, but let's not forget what the name of the fucking site is. It's not atheist and theist forums. It's atheist forums. Anyone who isn't an atheist should at least come here expecting to have their views refuted, and not get all pissy when this happens. If they don't come here expecting that then I don't see why we should be apologising for their naivety, and frankly if they get butt hurt over a few nasty words then they haven't been on the internet very long.

My two cents...

[Forsaken]

I think that these theists have faith that is hanging by a thread. Their presence here is to temporarily forget about the guilt of being attached to a system which is obviously built on falsity, dogma and bold assertions. They are so deeply immersed in their own belief culture that no matter how hard they try, it just won't rub off. Being on an atheist forum is their only escape from bullshit.

^^This, +1 Napo

We also have to bear in mind that many atheists come here to get away from the bullshit and preaching that has been imposed on them for almost their lives. This is not my case, I reckon that I don't give a shit about that, but there are alot of people that do indeed suffer much at the hands of religionists. Atheists trying to get away from the preachy idiots and find them here might not join just because there are fundie fuckwits running around unchecked, so, by welcome every fundie in here, we might just make the place unwelcome to atheists.

I don't have any problem with having reasonable theists around, like we've been doing, but ravenous preachers that whine at every criticism they get, like many of the recent additions may turn the place into havoc.

And these are my 2 cents.

Let them do their preaching to me.
I'm willing to listen if they want to tell.

If they weren't so preachy about their preaching then all would be fine.
