Bold mine.
Why?  I think Neo-Scholastic and Catholic Lady are great examples of the benefits of having people with different metaphysical positions on this forum.  I have always assumed they are a part of this forum because they want to get to know people that by virtue of their beliefs they may not get to know as easily in their day to day lives.  Expanding your horizons seems like it has benefits to both parties.

I do agree if you go to a Christian forum and start listing out reasons why they should be atheists, then you are a fucking dick.  But that doesn't seem to be the only reason an atheist might want to join a theist forum.
