Mate, this entire thread makes you look like the 10 year old. You state that the forum as an entirety is "ruining the image of atheists", yet to back up this assertion you point to a small subset of users who at times have used insulting language towards you and others, well within the rules of the forum (because freedom of speech).
You ignore the fact that we are perfectly welcoming of theists here who want to join in the community and talk about their beliefs, that have stayed here as members for years, that have served (and still do) on the staff team, and that have donated to keep the forums open. You think we're ruining the image of atheism; some theists here clearly disagree with you.
The real world is not all lovey-dovey. People get into arguments over their beliefs all the time. Why should it be any different here? Indeed, the great thing about this forum is that it allows people to debate the way they want. If you insult your opponent, you're only making yourself look bad, you're not making the whole of atheism look bad.
