I know what you mean. I really do appreciate your posts, and maybe I should post more about what I am doing in my life. I do tend to try to ignore people that are ranting about religion

I’m grateful for your posts! And also tired of all the religious posts!

I post about those all the time

Like you, * left religion behind long ago, and do not wish to be bothered by it in any way.

I don't see many religious posts. I find it more bothersome to see those discussing trying to "logic" someone out of being a believer, as if the post-writer has some magical insight or just can't understand how believers can be so dumb or some other similar line of drivel. But overall, the site is OK.

I think they should make it easier to exclude conversations you're not interested in. Something short of only seeing posts from specific groups.

But it seems unrealistic to expect a site called agnostic.com to not have a significant amount of chat about religion vs. chat about all kinds of stuff by people who happen to not be theists. There are however a great number of groups tucked away on this site. Many are quiet but some far more focused.

PS. I used to attend a group called Beer not God and we almost never talked about religion. I actually found that somewhat frustrating - noone seemed too interested in the great existential and philosophical questions of life the universe and everything. For sure you could usually start a conversation about religion but for the most part being in real life they seldom flammed up or lasted long, unlike like threads do here for days and weeks.

I feel that for many it's a way to justify their "conversion" away from dogma. For others, surrounded by religious zealots, it's an escape haven.
Of course, It's also fun to satirise the anomalies, such as the preacher who claimed he prayed for RBG's death, thus going against the very tenets of his religion.

ANOMALY

On his congregation
Venting his ire,
The evangelist prays for
Brimstone and Fire.

He does not see
The anomaly;
Christ taught Peace ..
... and Harmony.

Praise God! Oops. It is all the more reason we need you to stay. I have noticed it too. Perhaps some of them might actually learn something!

May I humbly suggest the following:

1. Continue being your authentic self, and treat the site like a radio or TV
   (stick to the "channels" and "stations" you prefer = (Groups)

2.Don't indulge on subjects/topics that you're not interested in.
If you're not interested in the posts of the current groups, join other groups
and/or start some of your own (if you haven't already done so)

3. Each member may be at a different place in their journey, and will express
   themselves accordingly.

Last, but certainly not least: I hope you don't leave, but if you do you will definitely be missed

This website is called agnostic not atheist.

Religion... pure and faultless is this: to help widows and orphans in need and avoiding worldly corruption. James 1:27

I see very little discussion on here about religion. I think I may be one of the only people around here bringing up the subject of helping widows and orphans while avoiding worldly corruption.

Agnostic does not know about God thingies.
Agnostic by definition and premise implies that given the knowledge they would then know about God thingies. However, it does say, "it could never be known". This illogical statement could be evidenced incorrect if it were known. So, to say "it could never be know" is not the same as saying "I never want to know". Forsure, most people I come across that are moreso agnostic rather than atheist are still open to the possibility of knowing that I exist.

There is a difference. Atheist by definition and premise reject. Agnostics are not specifically opposed.

You say, "Instead I post about hikes, healthy recipes, funny and uplifting stories. Also write about Democratic causes.

Apparently I need to join a different atheist website."

I don't see anything wrong with you discussion topics. They don't specifically have anything to do with helping widows and orphans, not saying all topics must cover helping widows and orphans.

Maybe you discussion about Democrats could help end politics thus doing a lot to end worldly corruption. Then everyone on Earth could enjoy their own brick home built by true masons, free from mortgage, free from rent. free from taxation, free from governmental terrorism and free from religious oppression [atheist definition of religion ].

I sympathize. I am post religion. I have been for years. It's just boring. I enjoy your posts one of the few left I read.

I joined because it is an atheist group, mainly restrain my horror of religion, but not always. Hope you don't leave. Enjoy your adventure stories, and photos, that bring pleasure....if you go....you will be missed.
