joe,
The rules were quite plainly presented to you when you signed up. You had to agree to them when signing up, so any violation of those rules is your own fault, not ours.
It is a requirement that a new member posts an introduction thread before making any posts because we want to welcome them to the community, and it is much easier to get to know someone this way. It also weeds out any fly by trolls (such as yourself) who just come to post crap and then run off.
It is a requirement that you have 10 posts before being able to use links for the same reason. We don't want people coming here to spam, nor do we want people coming here just to post links in a topic without at least showing some commitment to being a regular member.
In short, this is a community for discussion of various points of view, and whilst you might have the discussion part nailed on the head, you certainly don't seem to understand the "community" concept.
Many theists have been here and been an active (and often respected) part of the community. We have theist members who obey the rules and understand the need for them. You would be a welcome member of this community as well if you follow the rules. Otherwise, I'm afraid most people won't be sad to see you depart.
