Banned from ChristianForums

You can absolutely question other people's beliefs. I spent the first 5 years of my on line work doing that very thing. To the point where people have dropped their old beliefs and went in a new direction. They have no issue with this. They just want things done respectfully, and done with a modicum of tolerance for those who hold the beliefs you question.

---

What most 'atheist' on 'Christian forums' didn't/don't get is their base line arguments defile the integrity of the believer in some way. Meaning the general charge is one of ignorance/in ablity to reason or they default to some sort of fallacy.

---

If you can not approach someone and openly discuss their faith without tracing out a base line argument that calls them an idiot then the fault is yours.

Now granted here you can call someone an idiot, but again you truly are one if you can have a civil conversation in this format.

How astounding that you are capable of seeing the disrespect inherent in an atheist trying to "convert" a theist, and incapable of seeing the identical disrespect of a theist coming here to "convert" or "instruct" the atheists.  Both actions are clearly stating that the other is delusional, incapable of choosing their own beliefs or lack thereof, and in need of help.

Doesn't change the fact that you can say about anything you want here.

I'm not talking about here - .org - I'm talking about .com.

As long as you don't preach, you can come in, all bibles blazing. Which isn't the case on christian forums. Question belief or dogma, in short, don't join the circle jerk, and you're banned.

So what? It's their site. Some Christians are interested in debate with critics, some aren't. Why force yourself on people who clearly don't want you? That's weird.

As I said before, I'm not a missionary feeling the compulsion to push my view on anyone. But I maybe would be interested in discussing with more christians than the ones that come here. Sort of seeing and understanding the other side of the argument. Impossible without questioning and giving the reasons for questioning.

So go to a site that allows atheists. I haven't been to theologyonline in a long time but they used to accept anyone as long as they maintained a minimum amount of civility.

I've been a member of Reasonable Faith Forums and TheologyWeb, neither site banned me. They didn't have any problem with me expressing contrary views so long as I was civil and followed the rules. I have a hunch that while some sites do ban simply for professing a non-Christian view, I suspect many atheists bring it on themselves by being inadvertently rude or insulting.

This thread, condensed:

There are hypocrites everywhere, not just on Christian sites. Once I have identified a person as such, I generally dissociate from them.

Welcome.

I signed up to ChristainForums as an Atheist, I wasn't even allowed to post

I wouldn't bother wasting my time with Christian forums.

Hypocrisy is a heck of a thing.. the trick is to not be fooled into thinking it does not work both ways. Say for instance on one website and not another.

Clearly, you've been here for four years and yet we still tolerate your bullshit.
