I've sat on the sidelines for most of these discussions, but figured it is about time to jump in.

CP seems to have attracted this merry-band of atheists who seize upon any opportunity to start threads that pillory the belief system of their choice.

Now, I have been a 'godless capitalist' for upwards of 5 years now so I have no quarrel with their lack of faith. My issues arise from their use of arguments that are naive at best and intellectually corrupt at worst.

Imagine my horror when the first person on the forum to suggest imprisoning someone based upon their thoughts wasn't some religious zealot, but a 'free-thinking' atheist.

Maybe rather than prison, we can provide an opportunity to stifle these peoples freedom and teach them our correct way of thinking in new comfortable surroundings. We should call them reeducation camps.

It is threads like this that prevent the true goals of encouraging people to think critically and seek evidence prior to action, and ensure that atheists continue to be marginalized by the general public.
