I want to play with the Christians...

[Caecilian]

I would find it very entertaining and interesting if someone signed up to some religious forum and played around with these people. I would do this myself if I had a better vocabulary and knowledge. Also, for now I simply don't have time. So PLEASE PLEASE someone do this.

Its very tempting, I have to say.

If was going to join a christian forum it would have to be a fundie one. No fun otherwise.

Can anyone recommend a suitably batshit crazy forum for me to join?

Well, if you follow the rules then you'll be ok. The problem is non-Christians are very limited in what they are actually allowed to do. Its one rule for Christians, another for religious non-Christians, and another for atheists.

Talk about discrimination and oppression. Total lack of fairness.
Though it is expected, especially with those nut jobs.

I was being told to leave a certain christian forum. It was because I was an atheist. I didn't leave right away, I made a few points about their beliefs and then attacked them for their oppressive attitude towards me. Jesus freaks.

I've checked out a number of christian forums since my last post here. They fall into 2 groups:

1. Forums which only allow christians, period. On joining, you have to agree to a statement of christian faith. No room for atheists or other non-christians at all.

2. Forums which very severely restrict non-christian speech. Loki has already described in detail how these work.

Neither of these options has much appeal. Join->get banned->get my posts deleted-> what a waste of time.

What I haven't been able to find is anything like a christian equivalent of this forum. I strongly suspect that no such thing exists. If anyone comes across one, though, I'd be interested.

Wouldn't it work like someone else suggested? Pretend to be a christian but with an "atheist friend". My friend is trying to convert me to the dark side blablabla, "these are the points he refers to and when he says this some points in the bible does not make any sense explain please. Christians reply to the thread and you have a discussion up. Or would they quite easily detect this disguise?

There is an old observation that "in order to lie convincingly you must know the truth." In this case the "truth" would be the fundie world view and they are far more practiced at it than you. You might make some initial headway with a plea, like, " his arguments against the inerrancy of the bible are causing me to doubt my faith."
Eventually, though, they will get tired of it because those sites exist for them to reinforce their delusions. They'd ban you rather than have to deal with questions they don't want to deal with.

You know there was rules specifically for theists when I first got on here. Mostly guidlines to prevent the same circle of fundie spam, but a set of rules all our own none the less. Adrian said he's gotten rid of them and I think very little changed, so they must have been pretty easy to follow if you're not a nut job.
