But as the forum name implies, what do theists think they're going to encounter when they get here. Honestly, this place is way more forgiving to theists than any religious site is to atheists. With most religious forums, if you're an atheist, you are given a different set of rules to comply by and that includes barely being able to debate or really speak your mind against their viewpoints.
Shiachat.com is an exception to this. It allowed Atheists to say whatever they please and even allowed me to post 28 problems I had with Quran.
This site is good, but shiachat.com, people were very respectful to Atheists, and even me, while I was an apostate, most stayed very compassionate and respectful.
I know the same is not true of Christian sites in general nor Sunni.
But Shiachat.com has impressed me even though I am no longer a member there, and it's dying out slowly, it was an awesome experience, and I talked to all sorts of people there.
They are intolerant to one people though - Shia hating Wahabis. And I don't blame them in that regard. They don't let them post non-sense propaganda and lies to stir the pot.
I won’t join shiachat - I have no interest in poking my nose into an explicitly Islamic website (nowt to do with Islam, I don’t join ANY religious sites).
But I did stop by to have a peek at their rules, and I very much doubt that they’re as tolerant as you claim. First rule:
Quote:
- Blasphemy of any kind (impious utterance or action) towards Allah (sw), Prophet Muhammad (saww), the Ahlul-Bayt and any Prophet of Allah, shall be met with a permanent ban from this site. No warning is necessary.
