There are thoughtful atheists out there who are willing to engage and have a reasoned debate that actually gets farther than "god is a fairytale and youre a moron". I don't know particularly what is poisoning the atmosphere here, but from I have gathered it is a selective enforcement of the rules. The reasoning I have heard is..theists mistreat atheists in their forums, therefore, we get to mistreat theists here. Well, even if that were universally true, which I know it isn't, it certainly doesn't speak to the claim that atheism is in any wise superior to theism. Rather, it shows it is petty and vindictive.
Then leave. None of us are keeping you here. If you dont like the atmosphere around here, then goodbye.
Also, if you expect us to respect delusional rantings, then you should leave. This forum is one of the most laid back and inviting atheist forum on the net when it comes to theism.
So, if you think we are petty and vindictive to you, then leave.
