The rudeness you received

The rudeness you received was uncalled for.

I think you read the description to this forum that says theists are not allowed to post in this forum as meaning theists are not allowed to post on this message board. This is a common confusion mainly caused by inconsistent uses of the terms across the Internet. "Forum" means a public meeting place. Technically speaking, the entire message board is a "forum". However, sometimes "forum" is used to mean a certain category within the message board. Here, it should be interpreted as applying to a category within the message board.

The "Freethinking Anonymous" category itself is meant to be a place for agnostics and atheists to chit-chat without interference from people who believe in a god or gods. All the other categories, however, are open to theists as well. You are free to make suggestions for the show, to respond to some of the e-mails received by RRS, to debate atheists and agnostics or even other theists, discuss the environment, discuss philosophy and psychology, and so on. Theists are not being censored, merely asked to allow atheists and agnostics to have their own category in which they can chit-chat amongst themselves.

Please ignore the rude response you received and please do continue to post on this message board, just do so in any of the other categories Smiling

Theists are allowed in all

Theists are allowed in all forums except for Freethinking Anonymous. And obviously all the admin forums, which most members do not have access to.

 God as You, are you saying you're a theist?

Being a former theist now atheist I can see both sides as well.  However, I now consider myself an atheist because that is the mindset I agree with.

Which side do you agree with?  Theist or Atheist?

Well its hard to say. To

Well its hard to say. To totally understand theism you must have a one on one worship experience with God. Because thats supposedly when you're closest to Him.

But some atheists say that those feelings are just fake and lies.

What would you say those "experiences" are?

They are experiences. When people try to describe the experiences they have, they fumble on words and offer vague definition. However, from what I've gathered it is much the same as the experience I get when I'm playing live music, at a Black Label Society concert, or have a moment of clarity.

People become addicted to this experience and, even when they don't actually believe what they believe, they stick to it in the hopes of getting this experience.

Addiction is stronger than faith.

I've felt that type of euphoria.  A lot of people felt the same with David Koresh. 

What would you say those "experiences" are that the Branch Dividians had to ol' Dave?

It's a facet of human nature that makes cults possible.  The same facet made Nazism possible. 

I would call those "experiences" unreasonable and completely divorced from both reality and your own personal best interests.
