There are many theists that post here (Ewert, Keith M, OldMan, dfn, omprem, yeshu, searcher, etc). I'd really say there are equal numbers (roughly) but that the agnostic/atheist side is simply more prolific in their writing.

Neither do theists. I suggest if you're here to convert people, you're looking at the wrong forum.

Aren't you slinging crap right now? I mean, generalizations of the entire group based on a few posts isn't exactly a boy scout badge.

I won't tell you to take your own advice, but take a good hard look at what you're doing.

Dunno, it's been around awhile.

Why? Nearly everyone has respect for the theists that are rational and post here.

I don't mean to be rude, but this is FAR AND AWAY the most sanctimonoius and insulting post I've ever read on this board. If you want to convince people of your side's validity, a good start would be to NOT make blanket generalizations based on a few posts and tell people to leave that have been here for a long time and have made very good contributions to the discussion.

LL: Whatever happened to Michael Ewart, anyway? Do you think he's become an atheist but isn't ready to admit it?
I've often wondered if the atheists/agnostics/logicians were getting through to him.

I doubt it. ;-) He is very busy and this group can be very addicting. He's probably on some 12 step program trying to wean himself away.
