 As for atheist populating the board in the numbers they do it is interesting to me that if this is something that they intensly dislike why would they want and desire to post as much here unless they have the desire to proselyte for whatever position they advocate or there is some desire to harm those who believe differently by aggrevating them.

Hi gbrk!  

I’m curious what you have been falsely accused of & by who? This forum isn’t necessarily for all Religions, it’s a forum to discuss Religion so that would make it for anyone, not just “Religious” people. Atheist discuss Religion because most of them were raised in church or in church when they turned away from it, & they usually know the Bible as well as, if not better than, the Religious people. It's interesting to me to hear some of the comments the Religious come up with.

I’m curious about your comment “As for atheist populating the board in the numbers they do“. Exactly how many Atheist populate this forum?

 I don’t think Atheist “intensely dislike” this forum or Christians. The problem is those “Christians” that play the part, that are so judgmental & rude. (the hypocrites are easily to spot) Just to verify, I’m not implying that you are one of those hypocrites.

As for who or when I cannot remember, I don't really hold grudges or have things bother in that way.  The false accusation though I do remember and that was stating that I felt that the forum was only for Christians and I have never made such a comment or statement nor felt that way.   I have, as I did earlier, express my opinion regarding some curiosity about why some might want to be in a place where the topic tends to indicate that the subject matter would be about something they either don't believe in or have some adversity to but that was not saying they don't have a right to be here.   I never said it was a Christian only forum and that accusation was made against me by someone, in the past.

 

Whether it be Religion, Politics, or Food or Feedback ,whatever the topic my opinion and feeling questioning the intent of someone, based upon their postings, can be something that someone could challenge or question.  As you know very well there have been people on here that seemed to more enjoy prodding people or aggravating people rather than being here for some debate or question or concern of curiosity.  

 

There are some agitators that seem to enjoy jabbing or aggravating other members more than any expression of their own opinion and that also transcends topics.  To those whose participation is such then I just said that their participation is more disingenuous than anything constructive and there is just cause or reason to question why someone would be here then.  One of the things I disagreed most with Bill was his use of those cartoons or pictures to prod and aggravate or polk at various people.  Him being just one example.  In the same post where some actual opinion or statement might be made in the context of the subject would also contain some flagrant or deliberate attempt to stir up someone's emotions or polk at someone.  I would like to say it wasn't deliberate but given the frequency and the choices of cartoons, depending on the person replied to, it was pretty evident that it was something more personal and more deliberate.   Again reason to question the actual intent of the person being there.  Was it actually to defend one's belief or opinion or was it to illicit some form of terse response or was the response or reply itself terse in nature and demeaning toward the individual it was directed to.

 

And those types of things were not confined to just one person for others would retort to such, over times, either using the forums in a more nefarious or instigating way in attempts to aggregate another member or inflame sensitivities. ... My own opinion mind you..  

================

Then gb turns right around and sez:

 

  I do find it inconsistant when someone says and advocates that atheism is not a religion yet desires to come here because it's a religion board specified for people of religion.

It's not your place to question why anyone posts anywhere. The forums are open to anyone wanting to comment on the subjects be it religion, food, news stories, politics, or any other misc. subject. The religion forum is not an online 'church' provided free by the TD for a  few of you to post your sermons. The ones that want that should go rent a space in a strip mall, or an empty service station and start their own church.
