The Proselytizer's Dream

[Spectrum]

Here is a thought: we treat fanatics with smug sarcasm and strikes from the banhammer. The only palpable reason for a theist to visit this site is to ask questions...questions they abslutely cannot ask their priest, pastor, parents, etc. The skeptical theist may find refuge here if not for a short while. Otherwise, debates with theists accomplish nothing on either side. To my surprise, it may take many of us three 11-page threads to realize that the pretentious (who believes his bullshit) preacher is actually trolling. Seriously, why do we even try? In the grand scheme of things, we end up wasting time reporting, debating, and banning these self-centered sabetours. We should only acknowledge theists who wish to learn, and cast out the other 90%. By doing so, we can use our time to discuss genuinely intellectual topics and advocate this website both offline and online, so exponentially larger portions of skeptical theists may find us. We can only help those who help themselves. These trolls are only abusing the freedoms we ardently uphold. Congruently, we perpetuate idolness by not making this website a haven for skeptical theists; it becomes a cesspool for trolls who wish to "debate" (something that most people cannot do to begin with).
