[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't visit this sub-forum very often, but as a relative outsider here, I can't help notice how many threads, and posts within topic threads, that denigrate, belittle, or troll religion.

I don't understand this. 
 
It's akin to people seeking out groups of people having conversations about sports, and constantly interjecting about the weather. I don't get it.

If the forum is devoted to conversations about various religions, then it stands to reason that that's the baseline for everyone involved. The assumption that everyone in the thread or forum is there because they are already a person of faith to begin with, and are there to discuss matters related to that. So I can't wrap my head around why there are posts on almost every thread calling religion nonsense, or denying the very existence of God.

I mean, if you feel that way, and religion isn't relevant to you, then why seek out a forum dedicated to the discussion of religion, by religious people, to pop into and argue the fundamental nature of the forum topic itself?

It's weird. I don't understand it. [/quote]

It is weird. It’s like the people posting on parenting threads that they are so glad they are childfree. Fine, but we’re not talking about being a parent or not. We’re talking about issues people who are already parents face. If I wanted to be an atheist, I have had plenty of exposure to atheism, but it doesn’t appeal to me. I can accept someone else has no interest in God. Why can’t they accept that I do?[/quote]
