If this happens repeatingly that the member be warned. The JREF forum is moderated for language. You might try there, though it's specifically a skeptics forum rather than an atheist one, there's a lot of overlap.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

My honorable friend from the land of Woo has asked any number of times that we not disrespect his god. I'm not sure how many times I've answered that just isn't possible. What does not take a breath cannot take offense.
At the same time I've asked that scriptures not be posted without hide tags. They burn my eyes and induce nausea. Seems like we could work something out.  (April 29, 2014 at 10:52 am)Revelation777 Wrote: Sounds like I have to play by your rules or I'm out. Errr... welcome to the internet?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

If I was debating in your church and my entire position was "christianity is wrong," and my sources were all known conmen from other religions who presupposed that everyone else was wrong and they were always right, would you respect my debating style? Would you appreciate my continuing to speak?

Rev, if you want to stay here, you're going to have to reject the god of the bible and adopt some new gods: The AF.org Mods!

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
Well .. it should be.
