A reason why people remain religious

[Polaris]

Polaris, would you like all us athiests to leave and not bother you?
What type of atheist will make you happy?

I'm suspecting you spend time here because you can't find stimulating conversation on any xtian forum.
This is an atheist forum with a religious section. Don't other religious forums have an atheist section?

Not at all. I come here because I was dismayed at how many atheists would stand by "facts" not backed up by academic research.

It's really got nothing to do with religion as you can see I rarely talk about religion like the other theists who post here.

I think the only issue you should have with me is A. I have a label as a Christian (not my intention to use it as a counter-move against gullible atheists, which it has become more often than not....just wanted to be honest I was a Christian) and don't like to put up with atheists being as illogical as the theists they put down. It looks negatively when it ends up being used as a stereotype against atheists.

Basically, I'm self-centered and care about what atheists do to ruin the image of academia. If the Christians around me actually made Christianity look bad, I would do the exact same thing to them. I don't tend to see the Fundies use the internet and the majority don't live within 2,000 km of me.
