So, does every post at their forum have to be approved now?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Wow, just checked out the Atheism+ forums for the first time.

It's like watching a slow-motion train wreck in progress.

*Kayenneh pats on the seat next to her Popcorn
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Making sects out of something that opposes sects will be disastrous. They think they're better than normal atheists because they're part of Atheism +? Fuck 'em, they're just playing up to our crappy stereotype. Since when do we need more bad press associated with us?

We have bad press?
I was under the assumption we had no press.

Fox news? They try and make atheists out as evil and un-american (which is a ridiculous quality to accuse people of, for who can truly claim that they know what it is to be american? So many diverse cultures, all under the same banner). Atheism isn't given a good press in the USA, especially when slightly controversial stuff like that billboard gets blown out of all sensible proportions.

Cuduggan2K2 has since elaborated the point, that he's a man who was raped by a woman. I'm wondering if all of the A+ people will remain as sympathetic as they would, had it been a woman who was raped.
