[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reposting for format:

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I might be on board, mainly because there are some very disruptive atheists here. Many atheists on DCUM are thoughtful and interesting to talk to. Unfortunately, all it takes is one bad egg, acting in bad faith so to speak, to disrupt the entire thread (see the Get to Know Jesus thread).  I don't mind the mockery, it's when some disruptive person derails an entire thread and the conversation shrieks to a halt.

I doubt, however, that creating a new Atheist forum would solve this problem. It isn't going to stop people like that Jesus thread derailer from coming over to the Religion forum to continue with the derailments. [/quote]

Do you mean the person who presented scholarly archeological evidence  that does not support Exodus or the person who railed against him?

Either way, seems to me that that people of different religions - or even the same religion - disagree about things all the time and that these forums are not about just about supporting certain beliefs but discussing religious issues in general.[/quote]

I mean the highly disengenous person who posted purported "scholarly archeological evidence" from 2000 and pretended to ignore more recent archeological evidence that debunked those theories and the several other scholars who compared the guy from 2000 getting a grant for science to Saddam Hussein winning the nobel peace prize. Not to mention, why was that disruptive poster talking about Exodus on a thread about Jesus. That's the highly disengenous and disruptive poster I'm referring to.[/quote]

perhaps there could be some sort of cyber-punishment for anyone who changes the subject from NT to OT.  We could comb the discussions to see how often that happens, then hunt the people down and set up a new forum for NT/OT switchers or anything else that offends us.[/quote]
