So many atheists here - why do you care?

[Anonymous]

Jeff clarified ( a long time ago) that athiests can post in the religion forum. It's a forum about religion, not one specific religion. Athiests come from all backgrounds and walks of life.

No one said that atheists cannot post in the religion forum.

Yeah, every few months someone has to post asking why athiests post here.

Step 1 - Post something about Athiests. Use the word in the title. It appears in recent topics.

Step 2 - Complain about Athiests posting in this forum.

Absolutely do not do a search.

+1

Rinse. Repeat.

Most of the atheists who post here often are quite ignorant, poorly read and intolerant. I wish they would go away or at least post more intelligent comments.

You do not come off as genuine.

I'm the pope, and I agree with the atheists.

What motivates us is the same thing that motivates you.

Do you not see the incredible irony of your post?

Agree, so tired of self righteous individuals from all backgrounds. A bunch of entitled arrogant idiots.

You sound pretty self righteous yourself, you arrogant ass.

I just wish belief in God didn't get confounded with belief in Biblical inerrancy.

I understand that nuance is hard for people who typically engage in black/white thinking.

But instead of considering any position other than “MAGA supporting morons believe in a made up sky daddy” or “libs hate Jesus and will burn in hell” is too difficult, so instead you make ad hominem allegations and refuse to consider alternative viewpoints.

Op ive noticed this too and honestly it feels pretty evil some people go out of their way to do what some of these atheist posters do. There are other more genuine boards on the internet. Seek them out.

Saying you do not come off as genuine is not ad hominem. It’s a direct comment on your post. I don’t think you are sincere. You can look up ad hominem and see what it means if you need to.

Evil? What here was evil exactly? How would that even work?

You will not answer, I am sure.

I'm asking this with 100% sincerity and genuine curiosity:

Why do you care enough to spend so much energy on this board? What motivates you to do that? I'm genuinely fascinated.

You can ask Jeff to prevent the Religion forum from showing up in Recent Topics, as he did with the politics forum. Then nobody will see your posts unless they specifically go to the Religion forum.

I too am the Pope and I also agree with the atheists.

That's been done. He said no.

Nobody is spending "that much energy" on the religion forum.

I'm a Christian who thinks Trump has exploited evangelicals to create a hellscape, and I detest the current Supreme Court. Yet I only bother popping into this forum about once every 2-3 months because it's a complete waste of time. Ironically, atheists may think they're converting people to atheism, but they're only driving us away.

You realize you're bashing atheists, right?

PS - atheists don't need to convert people, we figure it out on our own. Like you did with Santa and fairies.

If atheists "don't need to convert people" and people figure things out on their own (Santa/fairies), then why do you need to try to convince people that there is no God? According to you, they can figure it out on their own.

Are you starting to feel convinced, pp? Really? Just from listening to the words of non-believers? Sounds like your faith is not very strong. Maybe you belong on the other side.
