This is a pro-atheism discussion board and if your interested, I have thought of a way to promote atheism. I have noticed that in some discussion boards there is not much camaraderie between the atheists. There are those who only want to pick apart words and phrases and teeter on the verge of arguing every chance they get. There are personal attacks and ill deserved name calling. But where is the camaraderie? This keeps more people from having their voice heard out of fear of having their words picked apart thrown to the judges and spit back into their faces or worse, receiving personal attacks. I know of many occasions where atheists still feel alienated by their own group and return to theism just to experience the camaraderie once again. With the welcomes that a christian gets upon joining a Christian site, and the camaraderie that makes up its context, its no wonder Christianity is so big. They are automatically "brothers and sisters" in Christ. If atheism shared the same ideals instead of seemingly being constantly judged and attacked by their own people, I would assume it would realize a tremendous growth. This camaraderie should include building a network of friends. If we are friends on Atheist Heathen, we should be friends on other social networks that we subscribe to. Think of the big picture; Atheists will have an obvious welcoming network of people on the scale of making any religion jealous. Sure we keep our friends separate on different networks, but how are the theists supposed to know that they are to be jealous if we keep our friends hidden from them? I also dare to say that many atheists are cautious to say anything about atheism on popular networks for fear of repercussion from theists. But if we had the backing of a hundred atheists to not argue with the theists but approve of the atheistic comment, it would help let the theist community know we have a voice, we are here and non-threatening but in their face. It might even bring some people to the enlightened side, the people who thought that atheists were outcast, and friendless. It could be a drawing force to us for them to realize that there are many friendly faces, a group that I want to be a part of. We would sell just by having friends. Understand that I am talking large scale here for this to work. I will be the first to invite you to my FB network here. Just know, I will quickly delete you from my friends list if you argue with my friends. I dont need any drama on my page. This should be a peaceful movement. Lets build camaraderie and grow atheism or at least quell the judgmental eyes that are set upon us. Tolerance from theists will have to grow out of this, we will wear them down. Why do I want atheism to grow? Feel free to pull up any article about military personnel being forced to pray with the rest of the soldiers and had atheist meetings broken up, kids in school being outcast from their friends for their beliefs, the spread of aids in Africa because of the Catholic church's block to make condoms available to everyone, the fact that only 45% of the people would even consider voting for you if you were to run for president, Wives are beaten within inches of their lives everyday and the churches tell them that they should have submitted to their husbands because it is the will of God. Parents refuse health care for their children because their God would look down on them for not having enough faith in him. Most theists believe that you have no morals because you are godless... I could make this list ever longer, but you get the point. This is a problem in society, I couldn't live with myself if I thought I could help fix it but did nothing. Feel free to begin this culture crisis fix by inviting me to your friends list, you are my siblings in atheism. Darwin bless you.
