Militant atheism has become a religion

158. You got a straight answer, you just don't like it.

Let me break it down even further--even though I think you're engaging in a chain-jerking, "aren't I ever-so-clever" exercise. I don't say that to be mean, I say that because I question your motives, and in the interests of transparency, I won't be disingenuous about letting you know that I approach your queries from that POV.

This is a site for Democrats and Progressives. Start from that point. The forums and groups are here for people who self-identify as Democrats and Progressives, not rightwingers, anti-choicers, or racist fundies with offensive ideas about gays or people of other races--the Westboro Baptist types, who believe in the whole Jesus on the Dinosaur scenario.

Take some time to review the TOS. http://betterment.democraticunderground.com/?com=termsofservice People who can live with that document are the types of people who will be posting here. The guidelines in the TOS are NOT optional. You adhere to them, or you get tossed. If not sooner, later, but eventually, those chickens will come home to roost.

Your strawman supposition imagines that people with fundy-hateful, sexist, racist and homophobic religious views will turn up here and start posting in a protected safe-haven group, and not be criticized, because, for reasons that are not clear to me at all, you "suppose" that a protected group's SOP somehow has more clout on this site than this private site owner's well-crafted TOS. That's just not how it works here.
