-Removed-Excellent... I'm flattered :-)
As for
I still question the motives of many atheists who post here.
Yeah, well. It's much like the theist not believing the atheist is truly an atheist. There's not much point in discussing that, is there. If you're not going to accept - or at least continue to doubt - somebody's reasons for being here - and instead going to keep believing what you originally assumed - than why bother asking it? I could write an assay about why I discuss religion with people, but it's quite pointless when one has already made up his mind.
I also notice that you started by saying pretty much all atheists here come solely to mock, and now you've already basically (correct me if I interpreted what you said wrongly) said that your OP only concerned a handful (What? Like 5 % or something?) of atheists, and not those atheists that are most prominently present. Seems your OP was mostly written from a sort of "emotional" standpoint and not a rational one. Was having a bad, that day?

-Removed-Notice what you did there? You made some small concession in admitting that you do mock some people sometimes - and expect from us atheists, in return, an admission that we come here to mock theists.
Do you not see the dissymmetry in that one!? Many of us, myself included, are quite prepared to admit we sometimes mock people (including theists), just as you sometimes mock people; but the reason we don't admit that are driving purpose for frequenting these boards is to rip the p!ss out of theists is because it is not actually true in the first place!
Originally posted by AgergAn easy way to see what is the main purpose of people here is the compare two things - the # of games and # of posts.

In my case I have over 100 games going on and I post like 10 posts on average per week. Although Im still tempted to engage in a bit of harmless 'mocking' when the opportunity arises.
Originally posted by Rajk999You cannot validly infer (# of games) significantly less than (# of posts) implies a tendency to mock. There isn't even a weak correlation.

-Removed-What do you mean out of the closet!? - out of the closet that I sometimes (just as you admit to doing yourself) mock people?
Or did you somehow get that an admission that I sometimes mock people is an admission that I only come here to mock people!? Or did you perhaps mean something entirely different? (if so please elaborate)
