When I told him I was not interested and gave my reasons, he asked me to share those thoughts here so that others could consider them.
I suppose we will have to take it on faith that you are telling the truth. Why one person's posts would convice you not to join the forum is beyond me. It seems simple enough to scroll past their posts if they annoy you.
Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men. - Francis Bacon
