[QUOTE="LaraLara, post: 71604483, member: 400258"] I recently had the doubtfull experience of encountering an atheist forum the "thinking atheist" that states in the rules that ad hominem attacks and foul language is allowed. 1. Such a forum is inacessible to the mentally handicaped as they can not stand such attacks. 2. A meaningfull discussion about physics as I wanted was impossible. So how can a forum can come up with such harmfull rules that insult common sense? I think it is because they want to be "anti-church". It is true that the church had a restrictive way of what can be discussed and it as well has a long hold problem with swearing. If you want to be the exact opposite of that than the forum make sense. However some of the rules of the church are extremely reasonable even if you dislike the christian religion itself. I think (?) it was Voltaire who in the french revolution stated that the quick dismantling of the church would result in mayham. If atheism is about beeing "anti-church" than why not be against the command not to murder? Edit: several people complained that atheism is only about non-believe in god. I agree with such a stance but in that case, to make your complaint sound true, it would be more helpfull if you go to th thinking atheist forum and tell THEM that foul language and ad hominem attacks have nothing to do with atheism.
