Why do you post here?

This is for theist/non-theist friends According to Percy when I asked a 3-4 years the intention of this forum was not to answer the question, "Does God Exist". Honestly because of this the form seems very useless.Someone else identified the purpose of the board to me as, "A place to intellectually spar".As recent as 40 minutes ago people are still using the same arguments they were using 3-4 years. They trumpet them as if they were new, fresh and creative ideas.*Tens of thousands of man hours with possibly hundreds of millions of letters have been wasted here.Why fight a fight you do not intend, desire or believe you can win?Honestly, cut the BS.... Lets be real... You truly know the other side is wrong, right? After all you have the facts. What is the point?Why bother having intelligent conversations with people you know will not listen?Why waste time giving the other side an equal platform when you know they are not equal?You would not devote tens of thousands of hours debating nazi skinheads telling them why they ought to not worship Hitler, Lynch blacks and slaughter Jewish people, would you?Why not focus your time on working directly with your community educating them on what you know is the truth?Why not instead of posting here get a part time job 5-15 hours a month earn money and dedicate it to established and respected groups who are fighting for the side you know is right?Why? It seems pointless, a waste of time & valuable resourcesHonestly to the best of my knowledge there is no 'point' which has been addressed here which has not been addressed with great clarity in at least 10 - 1,000 other places 50,000 times already.If someone who truly does not share your opinion wanted the truth the information is out there and has been out there for years. Religion has existed for a long time as well Atheism has.Will you really change your mind because of something you read here, honestly.What is your purpose here? If your intention truly is to see your side victorious do you not believe this could be better accomplished by working with, voting for, educating and discussing facts with those on your side? Rather than those you know who will never agree?Has anyone been converted because of interaction on this forum? If they were truly open to conversion couldn't they have just read a book or went to google.com?

I am successfully raising my daughter to understand how vile and disgusting religion is. I am teaching her how delusional, misguided and ignorant people who follow religion are. I am showing her along with her friends why it is not necessary to respect the opinions of theist. I teach her this in the same manner I teach her not to respect racism, sexism or unjustifiable personal attacks of violence. I have been and will contiue to be successful with this. People say without god there is no purpose. My purpose is to not allow the claws of religion choke the soul from my child. I used to like arguing here and there(youtube). It just seems pointless though.I come here now on rare occasion. But when I do I come here to better understand my enemy. I do this so I can pass such information on to my daughter so she can do the same to her children or friends.Why are you here? Has the purpose/mission statement or objective of this forum changed in the last few years?I know years ago you could not send private messages. Now, I see you can - things do change

Lastly, I get it. It is good to reach out with compassion and desire to help others. Such a thing is human nature. My mom used to tell me the definition of insane is doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting different results. Isn't it insane to hash, rehash, "re-analogy" or rewrite the same argument over and over? Especially if your intention or desire is not to win?Edited by Purpledbear, : No reason given.
