What is there to discuss, really? "You don't believe in god and neither do I" does not make for good conversation.
Quote:I see precious little of that here. The threads regarding religion that I've sampled quickly degenerate into senseless name-calling and posts that reveal a staggering lack of scientific literacy and consideration for people with differing views.
You've joined at an unfortunate time, but this is forum life, things are constantly changing.
Quote:No one is forcing me to be here, and my stay may be brief. If what I've seen so far is what members here want to do, that's ok. I'm just curious if anyone here knows of a site where I might find what I'm looking for.
You might want to try AF.com, TTA or (Loki forbid) A+. Googling other forums should not be that hard
Good luck in your endeavor, and welcome back, if you ever feel like it.
TTA sound just the place for you, Z-one. It's what I refer to as a new-agey self-effacing atheist forum, where you are discouraged from being up-front with or confrontional with Christians.
The crystals, Christians, incense, and chakras devoted folk there are more Doubting Thomas agnostics than atheist. They are even immensely proud to have Christian moderators in this airy fairy land!
If I sound pissed off with TTA it is because - finally fill up to the gills with their kid glove treatment of Christians - I purposely got myself barred from there by telling one of their limp-wristed, lisping, mincing, Christianish moderators to get fucked.
So if you want Al-anon like caring and sharing, unconditional love, empathy and understanding between wymyn dominated metrosexuals, witnessing Christians and Chardonnay socialist atheist atheichrists TTA is the place for you.
