Best to steer clear of it. Anti religion left loons aka atheists are annoying. For some odd reason to them religion is bad.... but endorse Islam.
Strange
Atheists endorse Islam?..do you even know what an atheist is?
I think I get what this is referring to.
I was on another forum where the Atheists still opposed the resident Muslim and made fun of the Jehovah Witness regulars, but they "teamed up" and did the bullying mean bashing against the Christian who was most fundamentalistic, where even I did not meet this person's Biblical standards. So it appeared as if the Atheist and JW were more tolerant of the Muslim and each other as "allies against the fundamentalist Christian." The REAL dynamic going on was the head Atheist was acting as the Alpha male of the whole religion forum because he was the most adept and committed to demanding proof and shooting down anything less than a self standing rational statement not making some faith based leap. While the Christian being ganged up on was the Alpha female. The JW and Muslim guy were followers not independent leader types so they didn't push buttons and weren't hard to argue with. They were easy targets and got made fun of where they didn't fight back. It was the Christian standing by the Bible and not letting up who challenged them and got attacked by the rest.
The atheist even pointed this out to the JW that the only reason they were being so friendly is to team up against the Christians. But that the Muslim religious fundamentalists were actually more oppressive with their religious intolerance, so the Atheist challenged that also as showing how irrational it was to only focus on opposing Christians and not Muslims, while remaining committed to ridding the place of "God zombies" fundamentalists in any form. Again in that situation, the Muslim member came across as nonreligious and not really pushing anyone else. It was only the "Alpha female" who locked horns with the "Alpha male" so everyone else took sides against her as well at the point I joined and started interacting with each member individually to address and align where they were coming from. The JW did align behind the Atheist alpha male bashing the Christian for fundamentalism because he was the strongest at it. So this weird "tolerance" of certain people's beliefs over others was because of power dynamics, similar to ganging up by political parties to attack certain opponents even though there are as many difference within each side that are put aside in order to fight a common foe.
They tried the namecalling with me, too, which was a test of the pack and pecking order. I was different because I respected both the heads of separate backs but equally right to use their own language for the laws. I argued more with JW for rejecting Christianity instead of understanding the difference between the folds of secular natural laws and spiritual Biblical laws that coexist and complement each other for a reason and purpose.
I ended up breaking the ice with the Atheist and his buddies by writing satires that caricaturized the "characters" on the forum, including myself attacked as a "witch for believing in spiritual healing".
I was not an alpha personality, but I respected and included the others I addressed with equal respect. The JW and Christians dropped the arguments over who was making up their own theology not in the Bible, by sticking with a few scriptures we actually agreed on.
So when they quit fighting and the two main alphas quit fighting, then this no longer escalated to everyone else vs the one person they were teaming up to target.
That person had to quit rejecting me also to undo the deadlocking dynamic going on.
But the ganging up against the lone Christian DID give the impression that the Atheist and JW were more tolerant of the Muslim and each other were biased disproportionally against the Christian.
I targeted that dynamic in my spoof posts, where they all team up as an "unholy alliance" to get rid of Emily the witch. It was very funny and it outted them and me as well for our posting styles. It was really about the Alpha personalities projecting onto others. But when you make fun of everyone equally, including me using myself as the butt of the joke, it is hard to stay mad. It was obvious what was going on with the gang bullying so I made fun of that, and outted the real silliness going on.
Just spoofed it beyond ridiculous and it opened up the discussion and reduced the tension of targeting people personally so we could focus more on discussing the real content and disputed issues.
As for "people posting Trump stuff" again that is personal projection. Those members need a better way or place to connect and vent. So if I know where the problem is erupting and derailing the threads, I would focus on addressing those posters personally to steer clear of these obstructive or distracting posts.
