I enjoy this one, as it was the first one I 'found' online, and I lurked for a while before joining last year. I learned so much from everyone here, and it is moderated well. That might not seem like a big deal, but some sites are troll-havens. So, it's nice to see that the mods here want to keep a good and friendly site going for everyone. The other sites are good/fun/informative also, but I guess because this is the first site I found, I tend to stay here mainly.
Wow. You consider this friendly? I like this place for being so active, but it really strikes me that any atheist-hating theists who show up here would have their negative stereotypes reenforced by the behavior on this forum.
Stimbo said it best. But, yeah, friendly and welcoming. I think everyone gets a fair chance and your experience will be dependent on how you treat others. If a theist comes here to have a healthy debate, that's great. If a theist comes here to preach and chastise, he/she will have a more difficult time of it.
I've seen mean spirited comments flung from both "sides" and maybe that just means we all can do a better job of leaving our egos at the door. I dunno.
