I'm against the idea of confining theists or even all newbies to a certain part of the board until they gain our trust. I don't even mind theists coming here to argue their beliefs as long as they listen to counter arguments. But ones who refuse to listen and are just here to preach should be banned immediately. I think if we get too strict with our rules we run the risk of becoming like Rapture Ready, where just about anything you say that's not in line with the mainstream gets censored, and atheists are not allowed to post anywhere but to one small section of the forum. And even then, I think you get banned if you start making too much sense.
I know it's annoying to see these people come here to preach, but I actually do like listening to the arguments that Christians and other theists make in favor of their religion. Whenever I hear their lame arguments, it just reaffirms my belief that there are no gods and their beliefs are solely based upon emotional wanting.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
