Lift a glass to the admins

I personally lift a cold, foamy glass of beer in the direction of the admins for this site (presumably North from where I am).

I got the email recently announcing that the site will enforce some new rules, chief among which is, and I (roughly) quote:

"This is a forum for atheists. Theists have sites devoted to their beliefs, so they do not belong here."

Finally, there is some structure to the madness. I welcome all who doubt religion but need help freeing themselves from the chains of oppressive brainwashing with open arms, and a free beer should I ever meet a new atheist.

But I sincerely hope that the rule is upheld, I've seen too many god-addicts try to hook us on their supernatural narcotic, and I'm glad to see they may finally get the ban-hammer.

I say to those folks "Good riddance, go preach foolishness to the fools who want to hear it."

And to my fellow atheists, I say that this is indeed a good day, it's just one forum... But I like seeing our lack of beliefs being upheld over belief... Especially when that's what this site is all about.

Thank you, admins. Thank you, fellow freethinkers. And good day.

Now, back to the beer!

I've got no problem with

I've got no problem with theists who want to come here and have a sensible discussion. I do have a problem with people who want to preach, and who quote large tracts of some old book as 'proof' of what they believe. If the mods keep the former and lose the latter then that's fine.

That I can agree to...

That I can agree to... Especially considering most people who would probably be atheists themselves (or at least on the fence before that) need a nudge in the right direction.

And what better nudge than talking with logical, rational people? We're a mixed bag, but we're all fairly intelligent!
