Pascals Wager can get you banned if you arent careful how you word it.
But it is asymmetric rules of engagement if atheists can incite worry in the hearts of people by saying theres no afterlife, no karma, no reward, and yet we are not allowed to suggest there IS an afterlife "consequence".
Hello, new mod here!
Oh great! Was it you who said...if I had my way you'd be banned? I can't recall. Hmmm.

If atheists really do think there is no afterlife, why would they worry about someone proposing long term consequences for ones actions? Thicker skins you were saying....???
Also, the Christian (like the person who got banned recently) will say in their own defence, that in talking about the subject of reaping what you sow, karma, heaven/hell, etc. that they are doing so with an altruistic motive.

Diverse ones!
Atheism is a position with respect to the existence/non-existence of god.
I would expect that the existence of God and the soul and the afterlife actually DO get discussed here. And I like it here because that IS what happens a lot at this forum.
But hey, it's your forum, your rules. And if people are punished (permanently) for breaking the rules set by the Creator of the Forum then thats just the consequences of their own actions right?
