I've spent about a year and a couple months on Y!A, and about 10-11 months of that have been spent in the Religion and Spirituality section. During that time my beliefs have shifted, from an apathetic "everything's ok" agnostic, to being a combative atheist, to being a weak atheist, and now I've made it back full circle again. Name an common religious argument, I've probably seen it 7 times on here. It's gotten to the point for me where I'm no longer learning anything about religions, it's just petty arguments about God, monkeys, and bananas. I realized that R+S had begun to make me callous toward the religious posters. I've given many snide remarks over the course of my R+S, and although I take pride in my quick wit, I am regretful for posting them.
In R+S it's easy to get lost in religious debates, but it's not so easy to see people for who they are. I admit that most of my 360 friends I met through R+S, and most are atheists, but I don't consider them my friends because of
