Back in the day even something like making a survey on the forum was not accepted before asking for permission. I suppose things have changed since I left. Is it only you and Valk at the helm? Dayum!
I considered that. Hart is on the thin edge of running afoul of the ‘no advertising’ rule. It’s above my pay grade to do anything until he becomes a bit more blatant.
And yes, it largely just Valk and me. Can’t figure out why the other mods and the occasional admin visit the forum and seem to not even look at the Report section.

That will make any relevant decision almost impossible, and since both of ya are down under, very little coverage. Back in the day a lot of spammers appeared during the european morning. All the others were sleeping so it was me and Kayenneh hammering all morning. And there wasn't a purge button yet, so had to remove the threads manually, fucking PITA.

Not happening. I have already judged religion. It is the single most harmful superstitious crap humankind every invented.
In short: Fuck right off. You are posting an invitation to a proseletizing fiasco.
No TYVM.

I'm allowing you to know now it's going to be a free space. Why would i lie to you. Think about it. I want you to come.
Nope. You are setting up an ambush.
I know I could demolish your superstitious nonsense easily.
But I also know that you WILL NOT LISTEN TO REASON.
You did not find whichever of the thousands of gods by REASON. You found it by superstitious nonsense.

Why are you pushing this so hard?
Boru
I think it's interesting and it allows others to be listened to instead of being talked over. That's why you should come.
It's called preaching. Admit it. You are merely going to select who can talk.

Not that it wouldn't potentially be interesting, but because I'm not really an athetit.
I am really Jesus, returned from Heaven to bring about the final Judgement.
But when I got here and looked around, I said to the anti-Christ, "You know, Neville, my followers appear to be idiots and yours seem to be no better."
Nev said, "Yeah. Can you believe they wanted to sacrifice a virgin to me?.
This shocked ne because we couldn't find a virgin for me to be born from. There were some virgins but they were underage and you don't touch underage children. I'm looking at YOU, Mohammed!
Anyway Nev and I decided that our followers were morons, not worthy of us and that the atheists had it right. "athetit"
Clever. I bow.

Also, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Sikhis, Satanists, etc.?
I'm getting tired of the Is Christianity true? debates lately. Maybe spice it up sometime.with discussions about other great figures like Buddha and Confucius instead.

There is no need for me to lie. It will be a respectful and loving safe place. I encourage you to search your own heart and refrain from name calling. Why would I lie? I want you to join because it's awesome. Lying does me no good because you will leave and not return. If you want to give it a shot put your defense down and let me know.

You keep saying "loving" and "safe". What makes you think that I/we would want or need that from christians?
You may not be lying but I question your motives. Why are you on this forum fishing for atheists? Makes me think that you don't know any IRL. If that's the case, I doubt I'd enjoy talking to you/them anyway.
If you truly believe you have something worth saying, something that you think I/we haven't heard hundreds of times before (you're not the first with this kind of request) then begin by saying it here. (I suggest starting a new thread)

Hey Brewer! I found a car dealership that sells brand new Mercedes* for $5000!
I just have to tell everyone I meet about it! I'm just so excited that I literally can't help myself!
It's practically my duty to tell everyone!
This is how some religios are.

No God, No fear.

Yeah, I know (that made me smile).
Mr Hart has yet to respond to me directly. I don't think he loves me after all.

Why? Because you are a christian and christianity is a tissue of lies.
To wit. Here you are, dishonestly attempting to lure people to your particular pit of oblivion, refusing to answer questions or even engage in any way.
