What are your opinions about us theists in this forum?
Do you generally like having us here? Why or why not?
What can we do to improve and to make it easier/more enjoyable for you to have discussions with us?
Are you in favor of this civility section to have more productive discussions with theists and other people of differing views?
What do you hope to gain from productive discussions with theists?
1. Up to the individual.
2. Depends on the individual and topic.
3. Be honest with yourselves. Try considering you don't need old writings that make bad claims. Try considering that you are finite, and there is no super cognition helping humans. That does not have to mean being fatalistic or pessimistic, just realistic.
4. Not my website so it really doesn't matter, but sure, I am for it, not because it is needed, but people like to hide their insecurities. And again, that isn't even about this website, humans don't like having their social norms upset.
5. See answer #3.
