True...I subjectively find it amusing and entertaining.

And yet you are making the judgement.

I actually get a kick outta that.
If they want a real thrill...they should go to the Middle-East and openly bash their Religious Beliefs & them for holding those beliefs, just like they do here! That'll keep 'em hoppin'!
I don't want to go to the middle east. I don't want to live in a theocracy. This is precisely why I am against things like organized prayer in government meetings.

Oh, and I don't have a lawn. Just 105 acres of woods, a few small meadows, and a couple of seasonal ponds which go dry if we don't buy water. We have lots of deer, wild turkeys, wild geese, skunks, possums, raccoons, the occasional bear or mountain lion. If you'd like to wander about on our little place, feel free. Be warned though that most of our ultra-conservative neighbors will enthusiastically shoot a trespasser on sight.

You forgot to mention your college degrees and career. All of this information is relevant to religion and spirituality.

Yes...I subjectively assess it as very strange, and amusing to me.

If they did not spend 5 to 10 years telling us 20 thousand times about their beliefs, we would not need to tell them they were wrong.

As relevant as sharing a fantasy about atheists yelling at you to get off their lawn.

Noting and cheering any downturn in interest or Faith in the title subject.
You may never find another Forum for any subject that has so much content that is negative toward the title subject and those that like it. Individuals with 10 to 50 THOUSAND posts, over 5 to 10 YEARS?!! What is up with that?!!
But my twisted mind finds this to be intriguing and entertaining...like watching "insult comedy" or horror movies.
All one has to do, is show a favorable interest or speak positively about (any aspect of it) the title subject...and that will immediately trigger those that are so strange that they think that is "yanking their chains"...and they will go into "Obsessive + Compulsive Bash Mode", and add to their tens of thousands of posts slamming the title subject of the board and the person that notes it in a positive light.
I see it as like a Don Rickles comedy routine...where constant insults of those in attendance is the funny part of it.
Ironically your post is not how it has worked around here, despite the number of times you repeat your misrepresentation.

Gotta love the angry atheists. "I don't believe in any Gods and you don't either! You're victimizing me!"
