Can we talk about the group rules?

68. I'm sure you aren't going to really listen, but here goes.

What that means is that this is not the forum to come in here and talk about whether there is a god or not. The assumption in here is that there isn't (atheism) or that there is no way of knowing (agnostic). We don't want theists coming in here and saying, "Yeah, but what about...." This isn't the forum for that. If we want those discussions, we can go to Religion for it. Some of us do go there and others don't.

When we have blocked people from this group for violating that, it has been rare and it has been when theists have come in and having discussions. In short, coming in with the attitude that they are going to change our minds about our atheism/agnosticism. We don't want that in here. I don't think that is unreasonable.

We added the "no calling people out or discussion other groups" after Interfaith was created because we didn't want a "war." And we never said "no discussion of other groups." We just want those that are safe havens to be respected. If people want to come in here and complain about something in Religion, I don't know that is a problem as long as specific users aren't called out (that is generally because the most likely to be called out are blocked from this group and can't defend themselves--and again, I don't think that is unreasonable).
