Actually, the one thing I've always found disappointing about these boards is that people who know alot about alot of cultures gods have nothing to say. Those conversations don't happen. They're eclipsed by stupid arguments as to whether or not fairies are really real.
You can debate and discuss all sorts of things here, dude. Just between you and I, we've discussed metaphysics, ethics, epistemology, and the Appalachian lifestyle.
But if you can't debate whether or not a god exists HERE- where the fuck can you debate it?
THIS is the appropriate place for such debates, and such debates must transpire if we are to move forward as a people.
Where else might these debates transpire? Christian forums? No. Those people are too cowardly to invite rigorous questioning into their midst. Philosophy forums? Well, if you ever want to post a question on a philosophy forum, you'd better know your Hegel... or (at the very least) be a pretentious enough cunt to think your knowledge of Hegel will answer the question of God's existence.
So where else might we have the debate over God's existence? On college campuses, certainly. But we're talking about online places here.
HERE: that is the place to have the debate over whether God exists. And until Tibs or the majority of staff proclaims otherwise, I say it is entirely useful for this debate to continue on these forums.
You forget that there are critical thinking theists out there who are atheists in every regard but they were cursed with white trash parents. THEY don't want to join a forum where everything is monotone; everyone agrees that Yahweh is a myth. THEY want to explore an ongoing discussion of God's existence and relevance. This forum should be a place for THEM too. Not just you.

No. Don't mischaracterize my statements or my meaning. But if you want to consider debates resolved and then get on with your life, Twitter is an excellent resource for you to just post pictures of your rib eye and potatoes and not have to worry about theists disagreeing with you.
