I have no problem with communicating with theists, as long as they're willing to give me a fair hearing. I have no use for those who dismiss what I have to say with a wave of the hand and a quote from the Bible.
Do you generally like having us here? Why or why not?
See my reply above.
What can we do to improve and to make it easier/more enjoyable for you to have discussions with us?
Have the intellectual honesty and courage to test your own beliefs and admit that they might be wrong.
Are you in favor of this civility section to have more productive discussions with theists and other people of differing views?
No, because they are closed to members who cannot electronically transmit their ID data to the administrators.
What do you hope to gain from productive discussions with theists?
To get them to engage in an honest pursuit of the truth and to follow the evidence to a rational conclusion. After all, I may discover that I have been mistaken.
