Though, no five of you anti-Religionists put together, are half as sharp as Mystic.
Aren't you the guy who a few posts ago said that you never insult people?

MAYBE, in a forum like this one (Religion and Spirituality), people that want to talk about their theological views, should be the ones allowed to do so. Atheists, should not be allowed to mingle to try to prove the people how wrong, ignorant, and illogical they are.
If theists are happy being wrong, ignorant, and illogical, so be it. What is the proactive need to attack them?

Maybe a forum for atheist should for atheist to discuss and compare their views.

However, a forum for people to go at it with no holding back would be fine with that understanding.
You have a great day.

The problem is that the last time I checked, in 4 of the top 7 threads it was the theists who attacked first. In 2 of the threads everyone contributed. Only in 1 thread did an atheist attack first, the same atheist who is treated as an ally by the person who complains about atheists using puerile & vulgar terms by using puerile & vulgar terms himself.

Also, we progress by correcting false beliefs, and if the religious want to have false and irrational beliefs, that is for me in order. But when they post them for others to read, why should we not correct them?

Correct. As always...I am critical of the criticism of others and of the Beliefs they hold.
I am biased against bias...I am not very tolerant of intolerance...and I hate a hateful attitude.
I've been telling you that for 10 years. Telling you directly.

Yes, people can make claims about their expertise, but if they are not showing that they know what they are talking about, we have no reason to believe their claims.

An example is those claiming science expertise but refuse to post their science in the science forum.

There is one but it doesn't stop Mr Phd from going there to push his god beliefs.
( even though proselytizing there is supposedly against the TOS)

how about we dump the emotion and discuss beliefs.

what seems like a reliable belief? in terms of spirituality.

deity
living system (size is an issue)
non living system
rebirth and reincarnation
lack belief
deny everything so theist can't use it and make a type of atheism harder to sell.
I am here to fight religion's over reaching political meddling
all belief are lunacy (in terms of "higher powers and spirituality)

lmao ... I can't wait for this ...

Maybe it's part of being a religionist.
