You are of course correct.
I am a 100% Atheist and am as happy as Harry.
I often pop into here to make merry and have a wee gag at the Holy Joe's
expense. All relgions if they are strong enough should be able to stand
up to a few gags and laugh at themselves.
After all God has been laughing at us sin , keep you safe.
PS:
This is going to be an awful dull forum if ALL the Atheists leave.
Dull!? I'm sure it'll be spiffing! New threads every day about some Bible verse or other, e-praying, bullying underdog religions, confession threads, threads about how science is evil/how to spot an evil scientist. Let us not forget other worthy topics like which version of the Bible is best, who does God hate the most: homosexuals or atheists? and testimonies from each theist that their interpretation of Chrisitanity is right and the others wrong. Crikey...I'm almost salivating as I imagine how awesome this forum will become once it's a full-on fundie-fest

I do understand your concerns though, for it has frustrated me at times as well, this
constant non spirituality, this tearing down of another's faith with not ...[text shortened]... le
caution for they are unable to see anything good from developing ones own
spirituality.
Our dear creationist friends need guidance, poor things need every scrap of rational thought they can get their hands upon. They are like lemmings blindly following each other around, some of them are far too gone in their indoctrination whilst others such as Robbie are far too scared to peer behind the veil of darkness into the light. The 'collective' has a strong hold on these borg, ahem............i mean poor things.

why are they on here? Does anyone know?
If there are any atheist reading this, please
get off of this forum and stop harassing us.
I'll post where i want to post thank you very much. I'm not having some 'Johnny come Lately' to the forum dictating where i can and can't post just because i don't believe in his Christian God.
What arrogance. You don't like a thread, don't post in it. You want to talk about scripture and the Bible? Well start a thread about whatever you wish to discuss.

Please please please. Gee wizz that would be the bestest of the best. Almost as good as peaches and cream that Ma makes on a Sunday. LOL
Spirituality does not have to equal being bothered by anyones claims about a god or gods.
If you dont like non monotheistic people being in the forum then perhaps you should ask for a forum for believers of Christianity or Islam - oh what you have to be a protestant, oh what no jehovahs witnesses or mormons - oh what only Baptists- no what only Southern Baptists.......STOP discriminating nob end.
Such it up sunshine if you believe in God you are in a minority in the world, if you are Christian and even smaller minority l live in a democracy so you are outvoted - preach a little of what your good book tells you to and welcome all.

in all fairness to R J Hinds, it does state under the description,
Spirituality
Debate and general discussion of the supernatural, religion, and the life after.

Surah Fathiha 1:1
In the Name of Allâh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
If thou bring them not a revelation, they say: "Why hast thou not got it together?" Say: "I but follow what is revealed to me from my Lord: this is (nothing but) lights from your Lord, and Guidance, and mercy, for any who have faith."
7:203
When the Qur'an is read, listen to it with attention, and hold your peace: that ye may receive Mercy.
7:204
A passage from the TRUE holy book...get out of this forum you evil Allah hating, spirituality suppressing heathen and worshipper of false gods!

You think atheists are harassing you? Start a thread about scripture or the trinity and you'll quickly find out that the nastiest, most spiteful behaviour in this forum is reserved for Christian vs Christian debates.

Atheists here discuss the supernatural, religion, and the afterlife all the time. Why should these participants leave the web site or be silenced by moderators "in all fairness to R J Hinds"?
From what i've gleaned from your posts i would call you a deist. Theism promotes 'God as personal, present, and active in the governance and control in the universe'. Correct me if i'm wrong, but you don't subscribe to that view.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theism
Deism, on the other hand 'believe in the existence of God without any reliance on revealed religion, religious authority or holy books'.

How is that not a theist?
Your definition of theism seems reductive. Theism, to me, is the belief in at least one deity.

Yes I think one could use the word "deist". But "theist" is OK too: here's a definition: "One who believes in the existence of a god or gods."
