[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I've stopped reading this forum for the most part, and only rarely pop in, like today.

It's a RELIGION forum but the threads are riddled with "Quite simply, God doesn't exist." Why thank you for showing up on a Religion forum to spout about your atheism.

For the record, my opinion is that bad things happen because this is not Heaven. Heaven is later, after we have gone through this life and learned lessons, good and bad. And when there's something horrendous that we just can grasp, it wasn't our lesson to learn.

I'm sure 35 atheists will now show up and tell me I'm wrong, but that's fine. I'm not checking back and your opinion doesn't affect my faith. Your bitterness is disheartening but there's nothing anyone can do for you in that regard. But perhaps you should get your own forum where you can trumpet your disbelief, instead of polluting this one.[/quote]

A forum entitled "religion" is a place where people can discuss religion, which includes whether any one religion is true/makes sense.

It is not necessarily just a place for people who believe in one particular religion.

A discussion on religion without the full spectrum of belief systems -- including those who don't believe in god -- is not really a full discussion.

If I started a thread right now in "off topic" on atheism, are you suggesting no believer or religious person would post?  Of course they'd post.

As long as people don't make personal attacks, all views on religion should be allowed in a forum on religion.  It's a forum to *discuss* religion, not just a forum for religious people.[/quote]

What pp calls "bitterness" is simply a different point of view, which seems like "trumpeting" and "polluting" because it's different in a world where any religious point of view is rarely openly questioned.[/quote]
