No, I think it's fine to block "not religious" people from making posts or threads in the religious groups. Usually people who are bothered by that just want to troll and stir up trouble anyway. Let the religious have their own space, and let them be. Nothing wrong with that.

We can't post in religious forums? I never knew that. I guess I was as interested in joing their conversations as they are in joining ours. I can have civil debate with some religious people, but most times they just end up making my head hurt because some of their stance are just illogical as all get out.

Are you an Atheist / or non-religious person or, simply, a member
who wishes to find out how Atheist are.
If I go by your posts in the other forums you are a believer.

I like a good debate too, but this particular brand of nutbag is a wasted effort.
You can have a more meaningful conversation with a brick wall.
Granted, it can be amusing to see some one in such a dilusional state, but the novelty

Freedom of religion, speech, etc don't count on private property. You obey the rules set forth by this website and if Dustin says you can't then you can't, the end. And yes, this website is considered private property, you agreed to a terms of service contract when you signed up.

We currently have an issue in the writers forum. It seems the religious zealots and hotheads feel it is thier right of freedom of speech to post sermons and religious materials. Even when asked kindly to take it to the appropriate forum, they refuse and bring about a "crusade against those who dont believe"
If they were truly religious, they would have a respect for those who were not and move on to the rightful group to share thier religous posts.

goto the writers forums and read up on the current events that are going on.. they even post thier prayers in thier now that people have been complaining... Now a prayer clearly falls under religious aspects, and clearly belongs in the religious forums,, but they are screaming free speech... its swamped with sermons and prayers and blessings and other shit.. I mean Im not religous and I respect it to an extent, but when someone posts erotica they b*tch piss moan and have the thread removed, isnt erotica protected by the same free speech that the bible thumping is,,,

I would not even consider to debate with believers, it is such a waste of time and energy. If someone believes to be Napoleon or to be a dog, he most probably ends up in a mental institution as a case of delusion. Religious delusions are just as bad, even though they are socially the norm. Let the afflicted have their own mental institution called religious forum. Doors are usually locked to keep them in. If they believe to have the doors locked from inside to protect themselves by keeping the sane out, it is fine with me. I prefer to stay away anyhow.

And before anybody wants to remind me that it is possible to sneak in the back door and post here & there I know how to do this by way of trickery same as you do. I am talking about in the rules we should have the same rights as the the gawd fearing crowd

that's a good idea marull, it wouldn't be long until they all starved to death.
instead of working to live,they would spend all their time praying for food and building churchs.
on the downside... they'd have all the money,cause i never seen a crook that didn't claim to be a christian. lol

Kinkau: Maybe I do not get it, but maybe I do.
Equal rights require equality. When people are as mentally disturbed as are believers, things are different, they have special needs. They may need to be secluded in the protective settings of a mental institution. Mental trouble is a coping strategy to cope with life, and religion is it like is alcoholism etc., They need the protected institution, until they are cured and ready to come out into the open of the sanity between skeptics and non-believers. They need to be kept there to be prevented from being a general nuisance to rational thinkers.
On the other hand, if a believer leaves the institution by his own volition and mixes with non-believers, he does this at his own risk. Sane atheists can easily ignore him, silence him and drive him back into the institution.

Do Atheists not deserve the same rights as christians?
should we not have the same freedom and protection as them?
if they have a right to theoretical protection should we not have the same rights?
i its illeagal for me to go express my views under the rules of this site is it not fair & just for them to be bound by the same rules?
I rest my case this is not an attack on you or any person and if it seems that way I do apologise for it
I just want to be protected from the mumbo jumbo of christianity same as you do

Kinkau: I have CONDESCENSION for the feableminded, mentally weak believers, who are so pathetic, that they need to be protected. I consider us nonbelievers as healthy enough not to need that kind of protection. I do not claim to have equal rights with chimpanzees nor with believers. And if one sneaks into this group, reads this and gets a heart attack from rage, he did it on his own risk.
I am looking at the problem from a different paradigm than you. I only claim equal rights with people, whom I can respect. When for example the dating site EVOW refuses me to join for being in the wrong country, then I have similar anger to yours.

we as atheist are not afforded the same privleges as them this is discrimanation plain & simple.
all I want is to change (within the system) that which is flawed
we are a minority which is being given lesser rights.
if you don't preserve your rights activly than you loose all rights thru inaction
if I logon tommorow and see a red letter sign saying "if your religous don't post here"

Actualy that is not correct the bill of rights (the first 10 amendments)are enforcable on public & private property and if someone wanted to file an injunction against D/H they would be within their rights to do so.But that would require a long and expensive court process.Hardly worth the effort but the easy way is to petition them to either remove the warning on the other groups ...Or post an simuler warning on this site.
maybe if enough posters on this site were to post a poll then it might be that they would take action on this matter.Change within the system is allways easy compared to legal action.
and to those who enjoy the occasional haysoos freak that come in here and spout the "word" they can still slip in by trickery same as before so bash away
