New here, hey :)

It appears to me that you're insulting our new member.
To be "sorry" that she believes (or disbelieves) as she
does is to greatly dis her. We should be welcoming her
with understanding, friendliness, & tolerance in this forum.

I have a right to my own opinion. Does having a opinion different than yours mean someone is not understanding, not friendly, not tolerant? I am genuinely sorry you are so sensitive that you were offended by my post.

We all have opinions which would could hurt others.
Is it productive to air them?
Instead of expressing sorrow for what someone else
believes, I recommend discussing the differences.

If I felt sorry for you as a believer, I wouldn't say so.
We should welcome new members. If attack we must,
then it should be done later in other threads.

Sorry to hear you are an atheist. It could be worse. You could be a nihilist.

How is lacking a belief in something which hasn't been proven bad? Not tryna get argumentative on my first thread this just something that has always confused me. In the religion I was raised in we were told that atheists would lead you astray but they never mentioned people with other religious beliefs specifically that I can remember.

Atheism is a threat to religion. If this trend for critical thinking carries on then religion will go even further down the tubes as more and more believers loose there belief in bronze age god magic?

So rather than trying to understand and update they choose to attack.

However, there area good number religious on RF who at least try to comprehend, and a few who don't want to.

Just my take on the situation.

If you posted that in Outlines, a gay magazine in Indianapolis, you'd get lots of responses.

Clearly some hellos are a little more robust than others, but I like your grit in responding reasonably.

Well, I don’t want a house cleaner who’s only after me for sex.

Yes, you did also mention cooking.

Damn right. I’m worth it.
Are you applying ?

Some people do tend to cling onto beliefs and defend them to the point that it's near ridiculous, I think to some extent the majority of people will get defensive over something they truly believe in so it's fair enough in a way. I can see your point, haven't seen any of that on here quite yet though.

No. Just reviewing it as a test market example. If it works out for you, I may run my own campaign variation. I don't require the lady cook or do housework.

I think they'll also be expecting you to pay the bills.
At least I would be if you expected cooking, cleaning, and "spontaneity".

Without the mods there would be bloodshed.
Without constant monitoring and disciplinary measures, we become a hysterical rabble.
I do anyway.
YMMV

Fine. I’ll settle for just the cooking and cleaning.

Men like you make it so difficult for the rest of us.

Right now a lot of RF members are biting their tongues

Only if we were doing any good at it.
