[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you atheists out there trolling the religion forum should ask the site owner for your own forum.[/quote]

He has decided that all discussion about religion stay in one area. I'm fine with that. I'm also fine with staying out of thread started by obvious believers looking for solely religious answers, as he indicated was the intent.

Maybe if you want him to change his mind about the way he set up his site, you should do the asking.[/quote]

Imagine an education forum where a person asked about a certain school and it was not allowed to mention other schools as an option.  Or a politics forum where discussions about only one point of view were allowed.  Or a relationships forum that only supported staying with your current spouse.

I recall a thread a while back where a person had been trying unsuccessfully for years to get their faith back and many on the forum thought it was wrong for atheists to suggest that perhaps they'd be happier if they stopped trying.

I doubt something like that would happen in discussions about other beliefs or choices.[/quote]

Your examples are misstating my intentions as outlined above. To be more accurate, your examples would have to be:

Imagine an education forum where a person asked about a certain school and was told that the entire concept of schools was invalid. Or a politics forum where discussions were always derailed because posters where told there was no such thing as politics. Or a relationship forum in which posters were regularly informed that relationships don't exist.

The issue I have is not with non-believers offering a different viewpoint, but with their tendency to reject the entire basis of the topic, making the desired discussion impossible. Join topics when you can contribute to them productively, but not when your participation will only derail, hijack, or prevent discussion.
