As an Admin my fear is that Atheist Republic will become a mirror of christian forums. We need to continually attempt to truly think about what theists state, and give it sincere consideration, not blind rejection. Counter-arguments should be rational and well supported.
I truly believe in many freedoms, including freedom to have an opinion, freedom of expression, and free speech. And just as relevant, the freedom to be offended. That works both ways, and I attempt to be hands-off as much as possible. The conversations in many threads wander off-topic and into weird territory, but that is what freedom is all about.
For any theists reading this, I offer a humble suggestion. You do not have to respond to all posts. That can quickly become a morass of confusion and misunderstanding. And I do understand that it can feel like you are being ganged up on. Maintain conversations with just a few, ignore the rest.
For any who believe they are being ignored, please be considerate and be tolerant. While they may not respond, they do read your posts. More importantly, others read posts and many learn. I am one of the recipients of what others have stated. From that I have learned a lot, and hopefully become a better person.
As an Admin I have access to data, and we have near as many lurkers as posters. Think of them, set an example, because we can make assholes of ourselves, or we can offer rational dialogue that can assist others in breaking free of the shackles of the evil that is religion.
