There would always be another one along at any time. How many of the one-hit wonders show up here with the attitude that all they have to do is sprinkle jesus dust around and we'll all see the light?

Yes.
I think atheist forums, in general, should be open and welcoming to any theist who comes there with open and honest intentions, especially if they genuinely want to get to know us heathens.
Too many come here just to push their beliefs (see the various shit and run posters who aren't here for discussion.

I agree.

To broad a question . Which Christians ?

I get that a lot of people's response will be "Well, sometimes... but not always... but it depends on who it is..."
So, don't answer based on the more rare exceptions. Answer as a whole.
Poll Question: Overall, do you generally like the presence of Christians on this site, or would you rather us not be here?
I prefer the presence of theists on the site. Otherwise we just wind up in a echo chamber. Anyone who becomes too odius, we'll there's an ignore feature for those people, and they are not all theists by any means. Atheists can be odius pricks too.

I would expect Christians to be here, just like I would expect Muslims, heathens, agnostics,...etc.
The more faiths you add; the more successful the place is. If it was a club, lots of members will be gone -me included-. So no; of course I don't want Christians out and I actually look forward for interesting heated debates that involve Christians. It would be nice.

I don't feel like the poll has an option for my opinion. I don't really care if other people on the forum are religious or not. I take everyone at face value.
