I'm pretty sure if you go back far enough, that whole squabble between you and her originated from a direct question leveled at her about her beliefs. I can assure you she has no interest in forcing her beliefs on you.
Thank you. 
You are right.

You clearly haven't read any of the threads C_L has made. She's made it explicitly clear through both her words and actions from day one that her reason for being here is to listen, yes listen, to the standpoints of us atheists because she is genuinely curious about our opinions. "Force-feeding" us her beliefs is the antithesis of her purpose for being here, she only shares her beliefs when directly asked about them.
Sorry, this is a DISCUSSION forum, it isn't a presentation for people who don't want to participate.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.

As Javaman said, force feeding is something Randy or Drich do. It's not what CL does, since she only holds her position. You may not agree with that position, but that's what a discussion board is about.

Lol, I suppose in that case a mod can ban me if she/he sees fit.

Post #62, to be exact. Thanks again for backing me up.

No. The squabble has more to do with her arrogant, insulting, and condescending comments.
Her beliefs, as she has presented them, are so ridiculous that it's pretty much impossible to be genuinely upset by them. But it's hard to completely ignore her insulting and condescending comments.
I'm also very disappointed by her weak attempts to deflect and prevaricate. I feel her methods of discussion have been deceptive and willfully obtuse.
Trying to reframe the ongoing discussion as my failure to appreciate her genuine intent to "share her beliiefs" is entirely unimpressive.
But knock yourself out.

Trouble with children is that they are so immature.

No need to attack CL ):<
The only reason i went on meanie mode was because it made me angry because of how you referred to babies as.I love babies.They're cute and cuddly and i like to play with them.
Don't even have to refer to them as "Rape babies" or "IVF babies",who cares anyway?At the end of the day they are all babies and God loves all his children no matter what.Also,they're cute.So that's what we should do as well,love the children of God no matter what.So love each other.
Also,god is a reasonable man,he'd understand because - population explosion and free will.
God would want what is ultimately good for his children,he just happened to write the book of rules in a very ancient time(when it was kind of expected for people to reproduce so that people wouldn't go extinct or something),so it kind of becomes our responsibility to mend the rules in such a way that it would be most pleasing for God and the current society so that we don't cause discomfort to anyone and generally make everyone feel good!

And loud. Without any sense for harmonics. And never, never let them sing. It's awful. Only enjoyable for parents since they're biased.
