Not a bad forum
November 20, 2012 at 9:32 pm
Although the forum is advertised as an atheist forum, the forum seems to be frequented by religious persons.
I suppose this adds to debate, keeps the forum flowing, keeps threads ongoing and fresh.
I am an atheist though, I think for myself, have my own opinions, religious people and those of authority of the state will not change my beliefs, know the real story.
I have had quite alot of negativity thrown at my posts since I joined the forum, but have also had a few posters defending my corner, it is these people that keep me coming back.

Yes, we like to keep a few fundies chained to the walls for training and feeding purposes. Some of them can even construct a coherent sentence, on a good day.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Equality sounds good to me, I just wish it was like that the world over.

I think I've been here too long. Something's growing on me.

It's a fungus. Try getting some sun.
Oh wait, you live in the UK. Guess you're screwed.

You're quite the prentious cunt, aren't you? Here's a sample of your contribution so far:
Quote: It's a forum boys and girls, I respect your point of view, if you can't respect my point of view without insulting me then you are in the wrong place, because I am here for a while.
And yet you feign a sense of shock regarding the 'negativity' you've been greeted with.
Fuck you and your sensibilities, particularly if your sojourn here is extended.

Some of the atheists seem to have no clue as to how inhospitable their online personas are. Pretty weak actually if they want to represent atheism as a respectable world-view.
I'm here because the last forum I was a long-term productive member of collapsed and hasn't revived and since that time (what 3 years ago or so) I haven't had somewhere to discuss politics and religion online.
