What Have You Gained (or Lost) at RF?

[SalixIncendium]

I initially joined RF to learn more about others and what makes them tick regarding their religion and beliefs. I also historically like to say things that promote thought, not to change anyone's beliefs or lack thereof, but just to bring to light an alternate perspective that perhaps hadn't been considered.

I had fun here over the years learning about others and engaging others as such conversation.

While there are a few that appear to have similar purpose to being here, I find myself jaded by discourse from those with the "I'm right and you're wrong" mentality or approach. It may just be my own perception, so I'm creating this poll to sate my curiosity.

What have you gained or hope to gain from being a part of our community?

I thought the entertainment choice covered having fun.

Sorry, it got modded right after I posted my video.

The entertainment choice limits it to
watching futile arguments about religion.
I mean general fun type fun.

@Revoltingest bacon obviously

I have noticed that on sites where the participants are mostly religious, stupidity and arrogance runs rampant. While on sites where the participants are mostly atheists, stupidity and arrogance also runs rampant. This site leans more toward the latter.

Having participated on both kinds of sites, I have learned a lot about how people think, or don't think, regarding the "God" issue. It's been interesting, though I can't say any of it has significantly changed my own ideas about it.

Is this a leaving speech?

 

[SalixIncendium]

Is this a leaving speech?

You will never see one of those from me. I think it's a silly cry for attention to announce one is leaving a forum.

If you no longer see me here, at that point, it's safe to assume I've left.

I was able to find 3 options.

I appreciate Atheists more, now I learned about Atheism, hence I could also select "I appreciate turtles more", coincidentally I saw a nice movie with them recently

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

I'm here to prove EVERYBODY wrong!

EDIT: Also, entertainment and bacon

 

[Aupmanyav]

Interaction with people.

And what @Revoltingest choice?

Bacon.
Entertainment for me isn't watching futile religious arguments.
Bacon.

I lost my wings of Chaos and was burnt to Ash.

What felt like aeons passed. The Ash came into contact with something which brought Order to it. The Ash was lifted from the desert sands and sculpted into what I am now.

I no longer miss those wings. I am freer without them.
