Hello, I'm Mr. Buttinski. I couldn't help but notice you calling Simbo "Mr. I think for myself". While I think that he is adept enough at that, to the extent any of is, I just wanted to point out that I've never heard him say anything of the kind. In the couple of years I've been hanging around it isn't anything I've heard him boast of, ever .. not even a little.
You didn't ask but I'd like to offer my observation anyway. I suspect you've had plenty of encounters with atheists who came off as condescending and boastful of their independent thinking as evidenced by their having slipped the chains of religious dogma yada yada yada. It is a common enough phenomenon to encounter among atheists here as elsewhere. But you've got the wrong guy.
You may be mistaking his high manners as evidence of condescension. But I have found that his good manners are really consistent with a quite genuine concern for others. If you think you've experienced something else from him I'd really encourage you to go back and find and then re-evaluate what gave you that impression. I think you might find you may have misinterpreted something. Perhaps not, we're all human.
