Any theist who comes here has to understand that she will not be showered with praise past the introduction page.

Theists have their own safe forums, and an atheist forum is a safe space for atheists.

We reserve the right to ridicule theism here.

What we attempt to avoid is ridiculing the theist who posts here.

Not sure what safety has to do with any of this, and I'm not talking about rights. I agree that ridicule is your right. Anyone has a right to ridicule anything they don't understand. It doesn't mean it's the best way to approach it, nor does it mean I'm undermining that right by pointing that out.

Especially when it diverges from the discussion and focuses on the person, I mostly write it off as a substitution for thougth and/or poor character.
It is said that an argument is what convinces reasonable men and a proof is what it takes to convince even an unreasonable man.  - Alexander Vilenkin
If I am shown my error, I will be the first to throw my books into the fire.  - Martin Luther
