what strikes me about the "only certain questions may be asked" in the Ask an Atheist thread, is that it really isn't about asking atheists questions at all. It is about following a pre-determined script where the desire is to have both sides of the conversations themself. If the "allowed questions" are already pre-determined and pre-selected, then there is no need for the thread at all, it is simply a soapbox for preaching. it is what many atheists on CD refer to as an "echo chamber." there is no discussion, there is no consideration for many views, there is no dialogue, and there is no conversation, and there is no tolerance or allowance for dissent. It is instead simply a tract to preach the party line, bear witness, and evangelize.
That seems a lot like being insulted when questioned about Atheist Beliefs, which have no suppotive evidence tgat bear even a bit of scrutiny. Which is ok, as Atheism is protected under the umbrella of religious freedom.
The legendary Atheists sympathy for muslim women in burqa seems to dissolve completely at the Chinese govt. sponsored rape of the Uighur women and their killing. They must think burqa wearing is worse than being raped and killed.
I don’t know what you mean by legendary atheist sympathy, but I don’t see a single person here defending Chinese persecution of the Uyghurs, which is nothing short of genocide.

How can you have an effective dialogue with anyone who validates communism as a means to enforce their worldview?
LOL.
Seems that one distinguishing characteristic of Atheists in this forum is that they feel entitled to their own facts, and are free of any need to provide any supporting evidence that can withstand any kind of scrutiny.

You COULD investigate other sources for the attacks on human rights, they are not difficult to find, except for the bigoted who are not willing to educate themselves.
Or ask in the politics section, where this question belongs.

No, it is about theists asking honest questions, something too many on this forum have a problem with. But for some reason, those theists prefer to attack. It is as if they have no supportive evidence, so they need a substitute.

If the questions that are asked, that does not fit the atheist agenda, are seen as attacks and insults, there is something very fragile about holding these views.

There is no atheist agenda, and an old, large universe full of natural forces existing is not a fragile view.

But we can say exactly the same thing in reverse in your threads where you attempt to totally control the postings to fit only your perception of religion.
