I'm very glad theists join our forum. It's good to have lots of different viewpoints, for healthy discussion.
I have noticed however that the majority of theists we get here never leave the religious section of the forum. I think this is a shame, because we only get to see one very narrow side of all such theists, and they only get to see an even narrower side of us atheists. Some theists even suggest the atheists "all agree", which we absolutely do not, if you step into other discussions on the forum. But if you're just addressing theistic issues then of course, by definition, all atheists will agree that they don't believe in any of it.
So I invite you guys to get more involved in the wider community here. Talk about other stuff, and just have fun! We have lots of silly topics as well as serious discussion. It just seems a shame to come here and only trot out religious ideas which we're bound to have seen thousands of times before, when there's so much more each theist could share with us. It doesn't always have to be about butting heads over God.
For those of you who already do this, I appreciate it!
Thanks for reading.
Actually 2 years ago I started posting in the philosophy forum.
After a while I was kicked to the Skepticism & Pseudoscience forum by people who refuse to tell me what
philosophy is all about.
Isn't that bizarre?
Very weird indeed. How are you supposed to tell them if they have it right if they won't even tell you what their conception of philosophy is?
But seriously, Rik, Rob's point probably applies to you even though you aren't religious. By droning on about the same yogic spirituality in every post you do risk being seen as unidimensional.
