I was making this anyway for my own use, so I thought I’d share it with everyone. It’s an index of several interesting and fun threads throughout the forum, and then a list of the serious discussion threads I have started which may be of interest to people. Note that many of my threads will be beyond the 30 day necropost limit, so other posters in the thread may not reply. But I’ll still reply to new posts which are polite and reasonable.
For newcomers, note that some of these threads contain huge numbers of pages which you are free to peruse, but feel free to just jump in right away with your own replies as well.
I’ll add a permanent link to this thread in my signature (on mobile versions you’ll need to click “Switch to full version” right at the bottom of the page to see signatures). Feel free to add your own threads you are proud of here for others to see, or other favourites!
Social
What’s everyone up to right now?: Find out what people have been up to lately, and share your own news.
Member photos: Find out what everyone looks like and add your own pictures!
Newly departed: No, not dead. This is for when you’re leaving the forum for a period of time, to let everyone know so they don’t worry.
Explain your username: Find out what those weird names mean, and let people know about your own.
Hall of wit and epicness: Did someone make a post that blew your mind? Just too funny or awesome? Why not share it here!
Fun/humour
Last person to post wins!: A silly game where you post whatever you want, to get into the lead!
Debate with memes: Every reply needs to be a meme! You can make your own at sites like imgflip.
Never ending story: A simple game where the story continues forever, and you just add 3 more words on the end! Punctuation is free. You can find videos of myself and others reading from the story here!
Ban the loser above you: You have to decide why the previous poster should be banned! Any ridiculous reason is acceptable.
Whoops, wrong thread!: Share the times you accidentally posted in the wrong place, or create imaginary mispostings.
Famous last words (of Jesus): What other things might he have said?
My serious discussions
Apologetics open challenge: Anyone can bring their theistic arguments here, and I will do my best to point out the flaws.
Fear of learning: How everyone’s innate biases can be a barrier to their development.
Reasons I’m more powerful than god: (Only semi-serious). Due to the increasingly abstract nature of god and what he actually does, I see how I measure up.
I’m god: what evidence do I need to provide?: A thought experiment where I ask theists how god could actually prove to them he is god and not an imposter.
Personal relationships with deities: I question what it means to “have a relationship” with a god.
Binary religious thinking: I discuss how I’ve observed how religion often seems to promote black and white thinking, rather than a range of ideas.
A practical definition for god: What does god actually represent?
Cameras, microphones and god: A revelation of sorts that I had which helped me understand theistic mindsets.
Imagination vs God: How come my imagination seems superior?
Why worship?: I ask what the purpose is. What does it achieve?
