DP. Of course, that’s true for all of us.

But insults and snark and trolling aren’t (1) facts or (2) positive. They’re a waste of everybody’s time, including your own.

Back to the question: why do you guys come on here to troll and abuse instead of doing something worthwhile with your time?[/quote]

I honestly don't see too many insults, unless you find people's disagreement insulting.  I am totally against ad-hominem attacks from either side, but I see more of those from theists.[/quote]

The atheist at 13:14 kicks it off with some condescending snark. It’s there, you just choose not to see it. If that was you, you need to start asking yourself some questions about your behavior.

[quote=Anonymous]Back to the question, with an answer:  As has been mentioned before, atheists like to discuss their views on religion also, and this forum is "religion" and not "believers only". To repeat: I find these discussions very positive, and if and [b]when I see facts that contradict my beliefs, I will change my beliefs.  Can you say the same[/b]?[/quote]

I can’t speak for everybody here, but yes, absolutely, I can and do change my views.

The problem is that the standard atheist approach here—condescension to the supposedly stupid believers (13:14 and her “do I need to explain to you”), endless repetition of things that you’re told equally often are untrue (most believers don’t think atheists are going to hell), and ignorance about religion—aren’t “facts” and they certainly aren’t going to change anybody’s views.
