Wait a minute

It's a little strange to  me that this forum is called Freethinking Anonymous and then it strictly forbids Theists from posting anything. I'm not a theist persay, but I'm in no way an atheist. I just find it frankly rediculous to claim the ability to think freely as long as you don't think there's a God.

 Since there's doubt, you'd

 Since there's doubt, you'd think maybe you'd at least lodge your complaint in the general conversation forum.  Or maybe read one of the other 50 threads about this issue by doing a search of the site.  

I've moved your post to general conversation since you don't exist anyway... seeing as everyone on Earth is either an atheist or a theist.   Way to welcome yourself to our website and put your dirty shoes on my couch... learn some manners man.

Ah, so you don't believe in any deities.

So you also don't not believe in any deities.

How can you not believe something (not a theist) and not not believe it (not an atheist)?

We completely understand the public's concern about futuristic robots feeding on the human population, but that is not our mission.

Philophile's fulcrum-ish position and creative spelling remind me of someone we all used to know...

What's the problem? One forum out all the others on this site where we want to be able to discuss issues apart from the Theist-vs-Atheist issues - there is much more to the world and understanding than those God arguments.

It was the first thing I thought of, and it's been checked already.  It doesn't seem to check out, philophile seems to be his own person... so far.

Do you have an alternative suggestion, or are you just bitching for fun? I'm sure if you had a suggestion that screamed out in its awesomeness, it would at least be considered, even if it got rejected. Whining certainly isn't going to change anything.

You'd have to be really thinking freely to come up with this, like outside the confines of logic.

Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
