Failing that; learn to live with disappointment.
I never said that I don't want you or any other weirdo atheist here.
Whether you agree philosophically with the people who own and operate this site should have no bearing, in my mind, on whether you contribute financially or not. If that's the reason why you don't, you are selfish pure and simple.

If NARAL or some other group you found theologically objectionable hosted a web forum and you posted to that forum to represent a minority, opposing view, would you feel the necessity to provide financial support to those you opposed?

You tell me. You post here often enough. And I don't buy the Balder, Zack, WW stuff. The fact of the matter is that you like to argue and believe you have valid points to make. That's the case with all of us. In other words, you come to participate at TOL for the very reason TOL was created.
It's not asking much to help send a few bucks to the owner and operator of said site which you participate at. After all, TOL relies upon it's members to pay the bills to keep TOL operating. It's as simple as that.
Those of you (who can afford it) who do not help to keep TOL active are selfish.

" :vomit: You make me puke, faggot! Say, can you pitch in a few bucks"?
Why not just make it a requirement?
If you are going to give people a choice: A)Pay B)Don't Pay - you can't get mad when they choose Don't Pay.
What is it that "make subscription to the site necessary for access" that you oppose?
I think that you realize that if you do that, you have to sucker atheists to give you money so that you can scream at them, and tell them that they are going to hell. Not a good sell.
You have to convince non-christians to pay for a site that has a double standard that favors christians. Not a good sell.
You have to convince non-chrisitans that it is ok for them to be constantly insulted, or called some foul names by really angry people, and do nothing but turn the other cheek, which is a price to pay in itself - and then pay the service. A bad sell.
You aren't getting money, because the site isn't a good enough product, and maybe, it isn't worth a few bucks to continue in the line that it is going. Many people who have been on this site and paid nothing have left in disgust for the other site (yes, you know the one).
So, if people are leaving when it's free, you're doing something wrong.
