I’m happy to engage with any respectful, sincere person, whether believer or not. And likewise not interested in dealing with any combative jerk, whether believer or not.

This is where we come to avoid dealing with believers. They show up to preach or to convert us, while they're already everywhere else.

I don't think we can stop them from appearing. But, when they do, they should come prepared, because their sky fairy won't be of any help to them while under siege.

I’d say you’re exactly right in your long term assessment of how change can happen … but we can find those fights everywhere.. The reason I come here is the lack of religious crazies (which fb & such are full of). Let’s keep them out, they’ve got their tax subsidized mansions of worship, let us at least have ‘this.’ Let’s strategize here -- then go huntin

Trolls are not here to be convicted or charged. There are other places for that on the internet. They are here to destroy this place. I block and report them. Religious and other types of trolls and scammers

I agree, it is a gradual process. At least it was for me. My journey began with reading Age of Reason by Thomas Paine.
