Kinda like assuming football players "lack peace" just because every time you see them publicly, they are bashing into people. I come here for debate. But that doesn't reflect my attitude towards my religious friends.
But (about "no God allowed" thing) I assumed ronedee meant "secular" forums where religion is considered a divisive topic... so the rules are "no mention of religion." After all, it seems rather impossible to talk about atheism without mentioning God or gods. Perhaps ronedee can clear that up?
I actually meant, no "preaching", if not in passing, but certainly in practice....and yes, some forums prohibit any mention of "God", unless it's in lower case format. The "rules" are pretty all-encompassing on the net. So, no one should be surprised with just about anything as a rule. Pardon the pun.
And as far as the "peace" question? "love" aka "kindness", would also be another scarce thing around these parts. I don't believe I've ever witnessed it here? Not once! Even among atheists?
Just observations. Not a complaint. I'm used to the schtick here. Although, it would be nice to see a little kindness. But, that would be imitating Christ? Not allowed.
