questions? Used to be only a few times a day, now I can't open this section without seeing at least four.
Is that question really getting rid of anyone?

Seems like a silly question to me.

Well, for a while there the fundamentalist right was getting a foot-hold again thanks to politics and fear; but now people are starting to come back from their paranoia about terrorism, the end of the world, and the price of gas.
People in general are starting to realize they have been had, and I think the mid-term elections proved that. Reason is coming back into fashion.
On the flip-side, the fundamentalist seem to know they have blown it (with approval ratings in the 20% range, how could they not?) and that their days are numbered. So now they are becoming louder in the hopes that it will somehow help.
Think of it like a child with their hands over their ears yelling "I CAN'T HEAR YOU! LALALALALALA!"

More atheists must have lingering questions about religion and spirituality, therefore more atheist are here.
And, because more atheists are here more theists are noticing them and thus more theists are responding to them.
You would think that most atheists would be more concerned about science and have no time for discussion of religion and spirituality. But I'm glad they have so much interest in religion and spirituality... possibly it is indicative of something significant in the human soul?

I've noticed it too.
There's an endless supply of desperate believers, it seems.
I'm starting to suspect that some of the atheists who claim to be drinking really aren't, and are just saying they are. I know I can't keep up anymore. I'm tired of being falling down drunk by noon.

First one was at 8:10 eastern time this morning, and there were like 3 after that.

Its probably an indirect way of telling non-believers to get out of here because that's what religion stands for right?..separatism,division,absolute ideas of good and evil..
Its also a 'polite' way of doing it without hurting the religious sensibilities of fellow believers.

Yeah, I'm getting rather tired of it, too. And with all this drinking, I've had to switch beverage too many times - I just can't have wine this early in the morning! LOL

I've noticed it as well. The fact that all of these fundies are pondering this shows that the great FSM is dealing with their hearts, speaking to them about dropping their evil ways and embracing the one true religion.

Unless someone changes the water into wine I'm switching to water.

I think it is the responses the question gets that leads to it being asked over and over.

Yeah, the number of times that question is asked is only getting more and more.
We belong here regardless of what anyone says, but it's really interesting how so many people think we don't.
