Because atheism is a religious stance. Because the kind of person who'd identify as atheist to such a degree that they'd join a forum for it must have at least a passing interest in theology. Because theology and the mechanics of belief are pretty interesting. Because another purpose of a forum is outreach, and rather than just sitting in an echo chamber and only hearing views that agree with us, atheists are attempting to point out a few inconsistencies in theology in order to maybe get you guys to see sense. Because unlike you and people like you, Gabriel, atheists are generally intellectually honest enough to expose themselves to opposing points of view in order to inspect them and see if there's something to them. Because the religious, to our perspective, are believing false things and we find that a tad sad. Because the religious so often want to inject their morality into the society in general, and that's not cool with us. Because we enjoy debate and the way you get debate is by going where the people who disagree with you are. Because your attempts at argumentation are hilarious in their inaccuracies.
