Since self-confessed Atheists don't believe in religion or spirituality?
Why can't you find your own forum instead of hanging around like a flock of vultures to criticize and scoff at those who do?

I'd like everyone to join me in celebrating the 100,000th time that this question has been asked.
Honestly, I can see why you're agitated about having atheists in the forum. If everyone were simply arguing about whose invisible sky-fairy was the real one, everyone would be on pretty much equal footing: no evidence, no valid arguments. Unfortunately, we atheists have to come in and muck everything up by using logic and reason. Not exactly a fair fight, is it?

confident, it quite is a shallow and stupid question. As an open communicate board, what one in my view believes isn't a valid reason for expulsion. Many are atheists simply by lies taught them by religion and that they got here across it out. additionally, there are much extra hateful and merciless so-stated as christians on R&S than there are atheists. So do no longer pass away atheists, you are able to ask some deep questions and that i promise you maximum of what you be attentive to approximately faith has no longer something to do with the Bible. i could somewhat communicate over with a rational atheist than an conceited and ignorant individual calling themselves christian any day.

If there was an "Atheists Only" forum, we'd just sit around, messaging each other about how right we are, and how wrong everybody else is. Where's the fun in THAT?
But, over here, the believers in several different religions each inform us, with varying amounts of politeness or hatred, that we are wrong, and that their religion is the ONLY right way to think.
The extra fun is watching them inform each other, with varying amounts of politeness or hatred, that EVERY way of religious thinking, other than their OWN, is also wrong.

As Christians we have freedom and we have choice, you do not have to focus on what is contrary and what people say that is snide and ignorant, you can ignore it and go on to the next question. If you be grounded and see the need for correction, do it, Jesus did without hesitation He nipped nonsense in the bud, so if you are letting this bother you about the forum, you will lose your focus and forget your purpose here.
Focus on helping those who want it. Let the spiritually dead bury the spiritually dead if they will not turn an ear to the word of God. All you can do is pray and plant seeds, God does the harvesting.
As americans, they have the right to be here and the constitutional right of freedom of speech, so don't attack them for talking, they can do that, you don't have to cling to it or listen.

Where does it state this forum is only for spiritual/ religious people? It doesn't. It's a forum for discussion of religion and spirituality.

1) Freedom of Speech, bay-bee.
2) We do believe that religion exists; That's the problem that we are working to correct.
3) If you can't take the heat of your delusions being called out as delusions, then it is YOU who needs to leave. No one owes you and your kind any unearned respect.

It is a free country, let others believe what they want. But you have to tolerate them, you don't have to like it you just have to put up with it. Atheists are not that much different, than other people, they just don't believe in a higher power, they aren't bad people because of it.

This is an open forum, and freedom of religion includes freedom from religion.
Since people are always trying to shove their religions/gods down our throats, it's only fair that we are able to air our own views.
Do you believe in freedom of religion and speech, or just freedom to promote your own beliefs?

Because we have things to say on the subject as well and this is the only appropriate forum. So why don't you come off of you high horse and join us in the real world.

You don't get it, do you? This section is not like the others on Y! Answers. The purpose of this section is not to encourage logical debate and a friendly exchange of ideas. The purpose of this section is to give the atheists and their kind a place to unload all their hatred and insecurity on the rest of us (well, those of us stupid or bored enough to hang out here.) If you want a serious answer to your religious questions, you have to either hope that another one of us is available to answer it, or find somewhere else to ask.
