"Its only fair this forum have the other end of the spectrum, (you know the stupid part that is religion). Censoring so would be a violation of free speech (even though I admit I am pretty fucking stupid), and prove the forum only allows one side of an argument.(despite the fact that I have only read one thread so I must be a fucking expert about this place)."-OP

The principle of free speech is that the government shouldn't censor speech without a compelling and urgent reason. It does not mean you can say whaterver you want on an internet forum, which is privately owned. As long as you adhere to the rules to which you agreed when you joined, you won't have any trouble.

90. A reason not to be an atheist: People immediately assume the worst about you, and very rarely does that impression ever change.

91. Being an atheist is not for the weak, for when life comes crashing down, there isn't a belief that an all-powerful deity thinks you matter. Rather, when you are down in the dumps, you have to deal with the grim fact that you're not getting back up unless you pick yourself back up.

93. When you're an atheist, it becomes clear that your life does not have a meaningful purpose unless you give it one. When bad things happen, you have to accept them as circumstances running counter to your goals in life, instead of thinking they are all part of some meaningful plan that a supreme being has for you.
