Religion is poison, OP ED.

[Esquilax]

Oh great! Was it you who said...if I had my way you'd be banned? I can't recall. Hmmm.

Probably not. At any rate, I take this shit seriously: if you end up banned, it'll be by consensus between all the mods, and for a good reason. I'm not about to abuse the trust of people I actually like in order to get rid of those I don't.

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....???

Since when does a threat have to be carried out for it to classify as a threat? One of the primary motivations for threatening is often intimidation... you know, appearing threatening?

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.

I'm sure they would, in the same way the mob boss is taking money for protection, rather than a cessation of violent assault.

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.

Discuss all you like, but discussion involves an actual back and forth. Preaching is literally the opposite of that: "You're going to burn in hell," isn't a discussion. All you need to do is couch your words in some form of discourse: don't let hell be the end of the discussion.

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?

I see what you did there: just like god's rules, the rules of this forum were made up by humans! Gotcha.
