I've joined a couple of Christian forums, but found the counter-arguments pedestrian. I've not been banned from them, because I don't and won't proselytize my own views, but it was very much a shooting-spitballs-at-tanks experience.
You'll get the same sort of pushback here from the theists which come to evangelize, I think. Their arguments are the same boilerplate, mostly, and you won't be banned for talking back to them.
