Why don't people who dislike religion, stay out of religious threads?

Surely you realize that's a silly question to ask.

CaptCaveman actually put it pretty well. You know exactly what you're going to get when you click on a religion thread here... just don't click. The absolute reality is that lots of people here are loudly agnostic/atheist and just wait for the opportunity to shout at people whose views differ.

I've seen some rational discussion here over the years, even in a couple of religion threads (for a short time, anyway).

It's the younger generation mostly. Ignore them. They won't remember what you posted on this forum 10 minutes later, why should you? What they gonna do? Flame you? lol.

I hate this place. At least the OT section. The only reason I post here is because the root domain is fairly innocuous and it passes the time when I've got nothing going at work. People are mean. Hurtful, negative, arrogant; some of the worst qualities I can imagine in anyone I read in posts here on a daily basis.

Anonymity is poisonous in the hands of angst-ridden shut-ins. In short, don't let em get to ya.

Thats because this is a tech forum, where technology is involved. And where the people usually tend to think for themselves. This should go without saying.

I'm not religious at all and for the most part share many views of others who aren't religious, but I refuse to be part of the bashing. It's stupid and boring, and many times makes the poster look like an idiot.

See, my point. Just because someone is religious or spiritual doesn't mean they don't think for themselves. It's just not your way of thinking, which pisses you off.

OP,

Actually, I think you should go away for a little while and then create a new account on your own. THEN troll your enemies. Take notes on the ones that have done you wrong, focusing on their weaknesses. Get them pissed off and erratic.

Go towards the dark side, Rudeguy, and fill the void left by TFP...

He could be Texmaster 2.0

I agree... religion has no place on the boards. If you want to practice your religion, take it elsewhere so the rest of us don't have to deal with it.

HAAAAAAAAAAAA. Doesn't piss me off at all. I laugh at this thread and you.

There are no universal truths, but generalizations exist for a reason.

Plus, I rarely ever post in any religion threads. This isn't a religion thread, I'm posting in it because of the irony. Rude dude consistently bashes others for numerous reasons in other threads too, which is fine, not like I'm judging. I just think its funny that he is crying about it happening in regards to religion when he has perpetrated the same on several other topics.

That name is new to me, Old-Timer. Why don't you regale myself and other, newer, folk of tales of this Troll of old?

rudeguy bores me.

The easiest way to visualize Texmaster is take Rush Limbaugh and add 134% more crazy.

okay, point taken. Please don't laugh at me, though, it hurts my feelings. :'(
