Yes. Knowing that NS in made up of a very secular, atheist community, they’re always there to pound you down whenever they see a religious thread. Which is why I don’t like to act so religious on here, it’ll just cause a fight, which even the Bible says is worthless, and that it wouldn’t end in people converting, just useless fights to waste time.

You should see what happens when we invade one of the religious discussion threads.

Right. That thread became interesting. Also the separate sections for women.

Hopefully with the absence of El Amin, we’ll have...less of that now, though that thread does not inspire confidence.

Amin's already being replaced. Also, he wasn't so bad.

Not necessarily just El-Amin. I’ve seen others too. It really annoys me out. Yes, you can share your opinion, but not shove it down other people’s throats and turn the whole thread into a preaching area.

Meh. I’d like it when people stay in their own threads for theism and atheism. I’m not a fan of religious fights.

Hi! Hardcore atheist here. In my opinion, you can be religious, but neither I nor anyone else has to approve of it. Still, I don’t think we should just pound people for being religious. I’m fine with religious people, I’m not fine with religious fanatics or zealots, or anyone who takes the word of the Bible over the word of modern science. They’re just endangering themselves and others. I try not to be a jerk to religious people just because they’re religious, but I don’t hold back when I encounter a zealot.

There’re site rules to stop the bad from advancing. And he apparently violated those.

I actually enjoy having civil discussions with religious people, sometimes we even both learn something. What I don’t enjoy is dealing with zealots. The sharing of ideas mutually and the discussion of each idea is productive. The “YOU’RE A HEATHEN THAT WILL BURN IN HELL” isn’t (I’m looking at you, Vaukiai).

One of the worst, though, I’d say. When they don’t retain their civility, and resort to kindness and representing their religion. At least be nice and respect that everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
