Like I said, there is a certain kind of Christian who can't stand the fact that non-Christians, irreligiou people, unbelievers, atheists, agnostics, what ever label you want to apply, are allowed to post on this board. It is now clear that you are one of them.
When I point out your hypocritical stance towards me(judging me differently than you judge yourself for the exact same behavior), you counter with the sentiment that I should stop posting on this board. So who's being the bully? For a real bully take a look at one of your friends whose own tactic has been to aggressively provoke and harangue, and has actually physically threatened people. People don't like their cherished opinions and beliefs challenged, and that is the real reason those "people of a religious nature" you speak about no longer feel welcomed here. Not because they were bullied, but because of their own sensitivities and inablity to mingle and converse with unbelievers who hold different opinions.
Just what is your definition of "spiritual discussions" anyway? I am on a spiritual journey just as much as anyone else who posts here, and as a victim of religious/spiritual abuse in TF have as much right to post here as you or anyone else.
If you can point out to me any instance where I have bullied, threatened, intimidated or harassed any believer of any faith to the point that they stop comming here I will gladly apologize. I have not done that, and I can't recall any other unbeliever/non-Christian/atheist/agnostic doing that either.
It seems to me that believers who are unable to have a discussion with unbelievers without feeling their faith is threatened don't have much faith to begin with. Or it could be, they just consider people like me swine and they don't want to cast their "pearls", which says more about them than me.
