Because they fear they’re wrong ... and assume, if they can sway any of the most intelligent, best educated and most honest people on the planet … that millisecond of satisfaction is worth the effort Let em fish - then yank em in!

Don't see many, it must be the way each persons preference settings are set.

I've tangled with a couple. They fit in like a turd in a punchbowl.

The concept of "witnessing", unfortunately

I have yet to come across any on this site. They maybe think it's easy pickings for the tokens needed at those pearly gates they can't wait to get into. Convert some heathens get a token?

I think you should treat them as spammers and have fun wasting their time - [ted.com]

Some tactics might include telling them you're interested in theism but want to consider all the other gods on offer. You could then ask enough questions that you're essentially applying the Socratic method. They might even end up questioning their own faith. That worked for Mr Deity who is an ex-Mormon - and now spends his days poking fun at religious bogosity.

It’s part of some belief systems to convert others, whereas with a non belief system, such as atheism, there is no such obligation unless individuals choose to do so for their own reasons, like Richard Dawkins.

That said, I don’t remember seeing any on this site. The occasional scammer will pose as a believer sometimes, but I don’t know of any authentic religious proselytizers for literal god belief here.

Yup

I haven’t seen but a few actual church-type proselytizers and they didn’t last long.

Some of us like to discuss metaphysical topics. Is that what you mean? A diversity of perspectives is what makes a forum.

Cute

They think they know best and need to lead us to the “right” path. I’d rather claw out my eyes than visit one of their sites.

I haven't seen any (yet) that actually LIE in their profile about non/belief.
I have no problem confronting those who proselytise.

They love us and want us all to be saved! Till they curse us with eternal damnation, of course, but it's our own fucking fault for being born.

Can't be a martyr if you don't walk into the lions den.

To bring Jebus, the savior into their Godless lives.
