It turned out to be exactly what I expected... nothing but posts and memes bashing and insulting atheists. I put up some comments pointing out the stupidity of their claims. I was hit with illogical replies, insults and one dope who parroted "stop trying to force your beliefs down my throat!" on virtually every response he made to me. Then, not surprisingly, I was blocked and my posts taken down. These creatards crack me up. They put up a page that insults and bashes atheists, then act all surprised and indignant when an atheist shows up and comments on the stupidity being put on display. This isn't the first FB page that has blocked me for being nothing more than an outspoken atheist. Anyone else out there have similar experiences?
After spending a lot of time in this forum, I joined the Catholic Answers forum, and within my first month I received two warnings for showing "contempt" for the catholic church in a couple posts, which I didn't mean to do at all. I was just presenting passionate opinions. I was used to the free-wheeling exchanges in this forum, and I had even toned it down, but I had to learn to use wording that clearly presented my view, but fit the decorum for that forum. In turn they've been more open to my posts. As for "atheist bashing", you need to have thick skin if you're going to wonder into strange territory. I, and christians in general, are bashed pretty much daily in this forum, and you can't take it personally. One thing about this forum is that it's not that easy to get kicked off, but I think it can swing too far either way.
