LOL, this religious forum is retarded

The thing is, a religious forum is a place for people to talk about their faith, ask questions about it, get faith based advice, etc. They actually have something of substance to talk about: their faith. Having a bunch of people join who are going to do nothing but bash the faith in a trolly, condecending, hateful sort of way is counter productive to the purpose/subject of the forum. Its going to bring down the quality of the forum, so they need to set tighter rules and boundaries to keep that from happening.  

So while most religious forums allow atheists to participate in discussion, voice disagreement, and have debates in a genuine and productive way, I can understand why they won't allow a bunch of people who aren't going to be respectful about it.

Since atheism isnt a "thing" like religion is (its actually a non thing lol), then it makes sense for atheist forums to be much more relaxed about these sorts of rules. It's not like atheists are going to talk about atheism, ask questions about atheism, and give atheist based advice, since atheism is literally just lack of belief and nothing more. Thats why this forum is filled with games, "whats up with you today" type threads, and other pointless threads that are just little jokes or w/e. If anything, having theists in here actually gives people more things of substance to talk about.

Oh bollocks. I've been on the "Reasonable Faith" forum, and the perennial topic of most threads is atheist bashing. I've been on other religious forums as well, and they all endorse a double standard. It's okay to criticize atheism, but heaven forbid you should criticize religion. The religious have an unending sense of butthurt.
