It's pretty obvious that you aren't going to bring the members here around to your way of thinking. My guess is that you are just another troll.
I've been honest every time the question has been asked, and I will repeat it again in honesty...
I created the account as an atheist in the process of deconversion; my old forum and home of 17 years (atheistforums.com) is pretty much dead in regard to debate and theological topics and we had have interactions over the years as communities. When I saw theological debate was essentially non-existent here I moved on and didn't really browse any other content.
I spent way too much time on social media around the election due to a lull in work, and in that time I started seeing people like Darkmatter2525 have meltdowns, massive atheist accounts begin spreading the most illogical and nonsensical of memes, and just... really childish and moronic behavior from "pop media" atheists. I hoped that maybe that was more the behavior of Reddit atheists rather than serious atheists.
I guess I'm here because I didn't want to believe, and still don't, that atheists have truly reached this bottom of the barrel; that a movement I dedicated hundreds of hours to in my youth and the prime of my life has become an absolute cesspool of illogical nonsense and the brainwashing of our "educated" by Muslims and communists to further their own agendas. More so than anything *any* of yall can say to me, that one actually hurts a bit.
Other than that I just swing by from time to time to see if any theological, anthropological, 9th-15th century history, 1830-1880s American history, aviation, vexillology, motorcycle, or other topic comes up that catches my interest. I don't really want to start any religious-based topics just because I feel like that's a bit too pretentious and preachy.
If I see something I find goofy I say so, as is my right, and I try to respond with the same respect I am shown.
Seek and ye shall find.
