Yeah, it’s a poll, but you know it’s gonna end up here.
Atheists: Do you feel that your views are oppressed here on the Dope? Does it seem that policy is weighted against you, and that the moderators go out of their way to chastize you, especially with regard to your interactions with Christians?
Others: From the outside looking in, same questions.
Not really. The Dope is probably one of the more open-minded areas around. I post on several other boards and the absolute vitriol that I get when I post something that isn’t 100% dyed-in-the-wool Christianity is astounding.
It is *not *dedicated to him, so that is why I did not say so. It *is *intended to elicit evidence with regard to his position. Hijacking the other thread seemed to be poor form. If you can read minds, or at least my mind, why don’t you say so and win a million dollars?
I agree with this 100%. The phrasing is perfect, the punctuation is flawless, the parallel structure is beyond reproach. What a fantastic post this was! Just gorgeous, pure genius. I dont know how he does it, time after time, post after post, getting it exactly right. I’m in utter awe.
Fuck off. You said it was dedicated to him. How about you find me a piece of text from anywhere, fact or fiction, dated prior to now, where “dedicated to” means “trying to elicit evidence about his position.”
