I see posts defining atheists as a group. Is the concept of atheists as a group valid? [View all] Starboard Tack Jul 2014 OP

No, in my opinion. elleng Jul 2014 #1

I don't feel the need for a group either. Starboard Tack Jul 2014 #15

Sorry I meant to post that threzd in the ny room. Oops. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #3

I like the A&A group the way it is. bravenak Jul 2014 #4

"The A&A group on DU is obviously not for all atheists, or agnostics, yet it is set up as a "safe"" AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #5

I take exception to your use of the word "disruptor" in this context Starboard Tack Jul 2014 #140

There are people that aren't even atheists or agnostics in that forum. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #141

your point is that you wish to stir shit up, and you are still pissed at being banned Warren Stupidity Jul 2014 #6

Why is it not appropriate in this forum? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #9

By that measure, atheism has nothing at all to do with religion. rug Jul 2014 #49

Sounds like edhopper Jul 2014 #7

Well, it is a Group, by DU definition Starboard Tack Jul 2014 #11

I doubt the posters there see it that way edhopper Jul 2014 #13

How about we determine who hosts our group kdmorris Jul 2014 #96

I agree. Keep your own antitheist hosts Starboard Tack Jul 2014 #129

You (we) can't change the name of a group once formed kdmorris Jul 2014 #130

If that's what you think then why do you have a problem renaming your group appropriately Starboard Tack Jul 2014 #142

I'll repeat kdmorris Jul 2014 #146

Sorry, I wasn't aware that the admins won't change the name of a group. Starboard Tack Jul 2014 #150

LOL you are a barrel of laughs kdmorris Jul 2014 #154

Bwahahahahahahahahaha! cleanhippie Jul 2014 #157

I don't participate in any of the religion groups very often. Kali Jul 2014 #158

Meta ia allowed and often posted in this Group. rug Jul 2014 #159

Well Kali, I can see how that may appear to you, as someone who doesn't participate here Starboard Tack Jul 2014 #161

You want a group, " mocking people for their faith, or attacking fellow DUers for their beliefs or genwah Jul 2014 #8

Did you mean for your YouTube link to look like this, perhaps? A HERETIC I AM Jul 2014 #87

Yes, thank you. I don't know why that didn't work. I'm still trying to post pics here, genwah Jul 2014 #105

Easiest way for YouTube links; A HERETIC I AM Jul 2014 #107

Thank you. Not to impose further, but if I may ask, how do pictures get posted? genwah Jul 2014 #108

Easy! A HERETIC I AM Jul 2014 #109

I think the OP means a place were he and other Athiests will feel comfortable. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #17

no the op means a place where he isn't banned. Warren Stupidity Jul 2014 #25

My support of a group is not going to make or break a group. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #27

your rallying behind this nonsense belies your cries for "can't we all just get along". Warren Stupidity Jul 2014 #31

Warren when did I ever say I wasn't a partisan? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #38

Seriously? No recollection? No whining about the horrid behavior of those awful atheists? Warren Stupidity Jul 2014 #40

I don't get your logic. if you see me going after athiest based on tone, would that not say I am not hrmjustin Jul 2014 #46

No he doesn't. Try reading words instead of imagining them. rug Jul 2014 #50

There isn't one. Only a safe haven "group" Starboard Tack Jul 2014 #18

And why doesn't this forum edhopper Jul 2014 #21

This group is about religion Starboard Tack Jul 2014 #143

"Which excludes anyone who questions its tolerance of believers." AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #35

I would support a second interfaith group, one for the majority of believers Warren Stupidity Jul 2014 #16

The fact is you can support the creation of groups that you don't post in. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #20

Is it possible..... A HERETIC I AM Jul 2014 #113

Well several AA room members post in there. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #114

Thats nothing, try this room. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #116

DAMNIT AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #34

Would you suggest creating a new 'interfaith' group if I come into the Interfaith room, take a huge AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #33

First off you would not do that. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #45

If you got banned from Interfaith okasha Jul 2014 #63

I might comment in AA if it was a BS ban. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #119

Just letting you know what the established protocol is. okasha Jul 2014 #120

I see. It sounded like an accusation. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #121

Post removed Post removed Jul 2014 #19

apparantly they don't communicate, so apologize right now! Warren Stupidity Jul 2014 #22

Why don't you just explain why Team Bayer� is anything but a personal attack? rug Jul 2014 #55

Have to disagree with you, rug okasha Jul 2014 #68

That's even worse, attacking imaginary things. rug Jul 2014 #71

If the concept of atheist as a Group isn't valid. edhopper Jul 2014 #24

a better question is why this post is allowed in the religion group. Warren Stupidity Jul 2014 #26

Because edhopper Jul 2014 #28

That is not always true. I get alerts in the mail from people all the time showing me failed alerts. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #30

And that proves what? AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #36

It proves they do alert. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #44

It proves SOMEONE alerted. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #48

Whatever. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #51

Sorry but I delete them. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #47

and of course belief without evidence is fine with you Warren Stupidity Jul 2014 #66

I just got this. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #139

Is there something inherent in atheism that makes atheists not as quick to alert? rug Jul 2014 #59

Individual posters edhopper Jul 2014 #76

How the heck do you know that? Starboard Tack Jul 2014 #151

It would be a good place for people who don't believe in assholery. rug Jul 2014 #54

So you would stay away from that group edhopper Jul 2014 #74

For other reasons. I would not be interested in discussing with others why I don't collect stamps. rug Jul 2014 #75

As well as edhopper Jul 2014 #77

No, the SoP would be nonbelief in assholery. rug Jul 2014 #78

Evidence edhopper Jul 2014 #82

Sometimes rug Jul 2014 #88

More imaginary friends for you I guess edhopper Jul 2014 #91

I have yet to see an inanimate object act like an asshole. rug Jul 2014 #93

I said you ascribe assholery edhopper Jul 2014 #94

You said: rug Jul 2014 #97

I don't think it was veiled at all edhopper Jul 2014 #99

Maybe if you were treated like shit for not collecting stamps... MellowDem Jul 2014 #127

They can call it the Eh-theist group. The Meh-theist group Heddi Jul 2014 #53

Meh-theist! progressoid Jul 2014 #57

Meh-theist. When you just don't believe that you give a damn Heddi Jul 2014 #58

would their leader be a mehtheist-head? Warren Stupidity Jul 2014 #65

And would anyone show up for the meetings? progressoid Jul 2014 #101

Which makes you wonder why they would want a group if they're so apathetic about it? MellowDem Jul 2014 #124

one has - and has proudly stepped up to support this shit stirring bullshit. Warren Stupidity Jul 2014 #102
