I'm pretty sure I only responded to the OP once, the only person I was responding to who isn't what I consider a troll was Daniel.
Besides, aren't you continuing this thread by responding anyway? I've been here long enough to know the drill.
Threads go on for however long they go on.

I don't mind that the thread is long, per say, it's that the bulk of it is in response to a troll. Your conversation with Daniel is just fine with me. This:

I've often wondered that myself. Just like how baldness is my hairstyle, for some people, atheism is their religion.
I can't tell you how mad I get when I walk past a blank wall in a courthouse and think "There's those atheists go again. There's no mention of any god or any religion on that blank wall. So they're forcing their not-god on to me and having the government declare no god to be the basis for American justice." Or at least that's how I take it.
And don't get me started on those atheist evolutionists who knock on my door on Sunday mornings asking "Have you lost Jesus yet?" and "Are you prepared to face no judgment when you die?"

I'll have to finish catching up on this thread later.
A quick observation here though. People like Darnem and Daniel come to atheist forums and blame all sorts of bullshit on the atheism of the responders. I'm deeply religiously theistic and I too am outraged and offended by bullshit and spewtum flying fast and furious from the mouths of the likes of Darnem, the disingenious apologetics of a Daniel, or the Gotterdammerunging Dunning-Krugerness of a Drich, and it pisses me the hell off. And you can't blame that on my atheism. (I'll leave it up to my peers to assess whether or not I have a big ego; likely yes, though probably not completely without justification.)
Anyway. The hypocrisy of such people is another topic I don't even want to get started on.
The great silver lining in theists like them coming here and exorcising their bullshit on well-meaning atheists is, that by serving as forum chew toys, they enable less experienced or less confident members to cut their teeth on them, and they get to enjoy the unintentional mirth that results. In an odd way, theists are one of the greatest contributors to the success of atheist forums like this. (Imagine if there were no theists here... "So, you still don't believe?" "Nope. You?" "Nope." "Hey, how about them Mets?")

Because there ain't not no evidence that God never did ain't not never existed.
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."

I also find it quite amusing that you guys are getting so worked up over my little question. I think it's just because you Atheists are butthurt with your lives and are angry at God.
Were not christian's so we don't just ignore people that express or ask questions concerning their own views. It's nice to see a follower of Jesus act so childishly it's discerning. I don't believe Jesus would even put together a sentence as you have.

Had no idea you were a less confident member who needed a chew toy.

What's the interview process for the "chew toy" position anyway Apo? Or is it an open door sort of gig?

It's a pretty easy process.
All that is required is to join the forum, fail to introduce yourself, start a thread titled something like, "Questions for You Non Believers". With the OP something like, "Why do you push your religion of Atheism on others when there is no evidence that God doesn't exist?".
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
