Coming to a place to actively assert your lack of belief in something is a fruitless activity. Perhaps it's some form of penance you feel you owe your past, who else would bother.
We come here to assert a lack of belief in a fairly specific and prevalent claim. It's not for penance that we show up here. It's for commiseration, which is not at all a fruitless endeavor. Of course, the good will that we extend to each other is often interrupted by the rampant and relentless trolling of others.

But that has always been the price of admission here.
