Exile and Disestablishment
May 7, 2011 at 10:27 am
Hi, I'm Tim.

I recently got the banhammer from atheistforums.com for puppetry because apparently they don't differentiate between two different people in the same house. Also, now their site is down because Infidel Guy couldn't pay the bills. As a result, you're probably going to see a lot of immigrants over the next few days. I see Gawdzilla is already here.

I became an atheist just over a year ago due to circumstances beyond my control. Maybe I'll tell you about it some time. It's a mildly amusing story.

Do you guys get many theists around here? Because I love nothing more than arguing with a YEC nut.

We've had quite a few in lately.

Welcome to the forums. As per site rules we do allow differentiated accounts within the household you will nee to PM an administrator prior to registering or face an auto IP ban, though.

Welcome to the forums, and there are some theists a here. We have had a major influx of crazy lately, but hopefully you won't fit in withthat crowd Big Grin Happy posting.

Not surprised one bit.

Again, not surprised one bit. How many shows did he cry and beg for money before it happened?

Sounds interesting, considering that most atheists came about ther lack of belief in a slow and exacting method.

Swing over to the "challenge for Waldorf" topic if you want to meet the resident cretins. Fr0d0 and Tack are cool christians.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Seems like I chose just the right time to join. "Major influx of crazy" to me means "open buffet."

No need. My cousin has decided not to use forums anymore, and he's the only other atheist living here.

Strangely, there was no warning whatsoever. I suspect that he either forgot, or intentionally abandoned the site. Then again, he might have been begging for weeks. No one watches his show anyway.

We should be good for at least another year rev. We're (the admins) are going over some ideas to make next year easier than the simple donation drive.
