Sure. There's no excuse for obnoxiously interjecting into an unrelated conversation. That said, a thread that starts "Hey Christians..." is just asking for it. Otherwise, what I see is not straight up street-corner style preaching (which isn't that against the rules anyway?); but rather, GC, Drich, myself and others addressing objections to the faith on threads explicitly about religious topics, like the Trinity, or giving Christian perspectives in threads about morality or philosophy of mind. I don't recall any theist going "Objective morality is based in a divine reality...so repent and accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior! "

Being able to start threads titled "Damn Atheists"...wait...I guess we can't do that.


bold mine. 

No, I don't recall it either, but there has been plenty of times where posts reek of "Well, I know you believe, even if you say you don't." or "God loves you, even if you don't believe in him." And the like. Or my personal favorites "You need to have faith in Jesus because he is the way and the only way you're ever going to be happy is if you repent or believe. Otherwise, you're going to go to hell."

Honestly - there are many who have gotten similar phrases in. Even if they are being nice and not being mean or ignorant in a thread. They mean well, it's just not wanted by the majority here. 

As for being able to start a "Damn Atheists" thread, I would welcome that. I get tired of seeing Christians and Muslims being in the news all the time. Lets mix it up a little.
