It's fine for others to believe what they want. It's fine for them to express those views here. That isn't the problem. The problem starts when they realize they aren't going to get the conversions they hoped for and they start telling us what we need. I'm tired of it. Let's debate, but when I'm not convinced that your religion is for me, kindly keep your preaching to yourself. That's all I ask.
Can you ascertain such a thing on the very first page of a thread?
e.g:
DNA Proves Existence of a Designer
That thread is special. The OP was claiming nearly from the get go that he was right and that the "debate" was over. One only needs to read a few pages into that mess to see how the rest of it was going to go.
