First of all, I should always have some popcorn on hand when reading this thread.
On a more serious note, I do think this place isn't very conducive to well-rounded discussions about faith. Emphasis on well-rounded. When I first came here, I was more interested in the atheist part of AF, but that got old quickly. Like, really quickly. Now I just come here for entertainment and to see differing POVs on politics. I think the majority here is intelligent, articulate, and thoughtful, which is why I like it here. Just because many of us are atheists, doesn't mean we have similar opinions on most other things, or even about atheism and theism, and that's what keeps it interesting. If I was a theist, I'd probably still stick around for the same reasons, and not for any meaningful conversation about faith.
If these things are driving away some of the most thoughtful theists, I think it's sad, but not particularly something to do with the behavior of atheists. Just the nature of this forum.
The word bed actually looks like a bed.
