The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

In the wake of the big change at TMF, Atheist Fools migrated to other sites. Some moved to Facebook, a group not open to trolls. A site on 'discord' became a 'zone flooded with shit' from the worst of the extreme right wing publications.

There you go again relying on sources that take advantage of your ignorance.
Why do you keep doing that?


That is a good question.

Atheist Fools who visited the Discord board have largely left it, landing on Atheist Shrewds. Right wing extremists who 'flooded the discord zone with shit' have followed.

Atheist are, in general, people who have considered both sides of the theologic coin. They read, they considered, they arrived at a rational conclusion but remain open to new evidence. Atheists are not likely to be swayed by people regurgitating opinions based on religiousity and NRA dogma.

So, "why do you keep doing that" is an interesting question.

Is it simply to be obnoxious, aka,'own libs?' Is it some kind of pathological attention seeking? They have to know gaslighting, strawmen, and moronic youtube bloggers are weak sauce on a board populated by Atheists.

So, why?
