Or perhaps http://www.christianforums.net/, they seem to tolerate a little bit more. I will try to find a few more.
Well, if you follow the rules then you'll be ok. The problem is non-Christians are very limited in what they are actually allowed to do. Its one rule for Christians, another for religious non-Christians, and another for atheists.
Basically you are not allowed to post in a vast majority of the forums if you are not a Christian, and those are usually where the interesting discussions are going on. Also you have to be very careful is actually saying anything that conflicts with their world view otherwise you get a "Consultation".
Overall the forums are very sickly to read and quite often follow the following pattern...
Post #1
I have a question about X / OR / I'm having trouble understanding why X / OR / I'm having problems with my faith
Post #2
Jesus loves you
Post #3
I am praying for you
Post #4
The bible has all the answers. See Book N Chapter N Verse N where it is explained.
Post #5
You don't need to question, just have faith.
Post #6
Jesus loves you
Post #7
Jesus loves you
etc....
You get the idea. Not an original thought in their heads. Actually the only reasonable conversation I had there was with someone a bit fundie i think who was anti-abortion. They actually made some good arguments and were willing to have a nice discussion with me... until the mods deleted my posts because I was an atheist posting in a "Christian Only" place. Grrrr.....
Censorship at its finest. The internet is meant to be a great forum for the freedom of speech and they do everything possible to ensure their members are not subjected to conflicting views. Its perhaps why the best way to discuss things with theists is in real life. At least then nobody can ban you or delete your sentences.
A finite number of monkeys with a finite number of typewriters and a finite amount of time could eventually reproduce 4chan.
