Application of warnings or bans will be subject to moderator discretion. Feel free to appeal. If changes to the guidelines are necessary, they will be adjusted.


If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a group that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of any other group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you you will be banned on sight.

Provable means able to provide proof to the moderation, and, if necessary, to the community.

There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.

When I was younger, I seriously considered the possibility that I had some sort of genetic abnormality that was unable to sense a god's presence and quotes like this did not help.

Then at least two people have this defect because I was never able to either. 18 years going to church weekly, sometimes more, and nearly ten years as an altar server.

Everyone has that "defect." A lot of people just don't realize it.

Never had that feeling. I always was calling out for proof from God and when he didn't deliver I got upset.

Sad it took me until I was 31 to realize he was not real and the reason I always was questioning him was because deep down I knew it was all bullshit.

You too!?

Always had trouble deluding myself, even when I tried.

Till I realized that’s what I was doing, anyway.
