Wanting some feedback from the atheists

[Homeless Nutter]

So these questions are for the atheists. Now that AF has this section for civil discourse, I feel I can ask this and get some honest answers from posters who are serious in talking this out.

What are your opinions about us theists in this forum?

Depends on the individual - it's not like theists are in any way a homogeneous group. You just form some sorts of uneasy alliances here out of necessity, because you're a minority.  However, I have a suspicion - based largely on observations of believers on this forum - that an atheist forum tends to attract certain types of theists more than others - either those, who wish to score points with their deities, by proselytizing, or trolling the infidels, or those who want to practice defending their faith in a debate, in order to  silence their own doubts and insecurities. And some, who are just bored, I guess.

Do you generally like having us here? Why or why not?

As a general rule - the presence of theists neither bothers me, nor gives me pleasure. Of course, certain believers seem to try really hard to be a nuisance.  

What can we do to improve and to make it easier/more enjoyable for you to have discussions with us?

I don't know... Develop a sense of humor, maybe? Or understanding of the basics of science?

Are you in favor of this civility section to have more productive discussions with theists and other people of differing views?

*shrug* I don't really care. No skin off my d*ck... However - calling it "civility section" seems unnecessarily inflammatory.

What do you hope to gain from productive discussions with theists?

A bit of fun. Of course, our ideas of what constitutes a "productive discussion" probably differ wildly...
