Not true.

I certainly don't blame Christians for everything.

I blame men for most of the problems in the world.

Oh, especially men with moustaches...

"I don't have the patience to be talking to a grown adult who believes in such utter bullshit. I am insulting and condescending because these people are idiots and almost always wilfully ignorant. You've just admitted to believing in god, so I would also put you into that category."

Response to a Christian who responded positively to a Youtube video that they had posted. It got 50 likes.

Yes.  There are arseholses on both sides of the discussions.

I can't count the number of times I've been told I'm going to hell or that people shouldn't respond to my comments, however polite, simply because I'm an atheist.

Don't let a few bad encounters with atheists make you think we're all cut from the same cloth.

Nah.  Now we blame muslims.  Xtians are becoming an irrelevancy.

It's hard walking into any community where your opinion is in the minority. Trust me most atheists know this because on the topic of god, most atheists are quite used to this position. It's harder yet if you carry a chip on your shoulder.

Maybe? But quite as fashionable as Christian persecution complexes? I'm not so sure...

Christians are persecuted in several countries. They're being murdered in Syria, Iraq, Egypt and Pakistan.

So are Muslims, and atheists, and women, and others, in those same countries.

So then there's no "persecution complex" when the persecution is real.

I'm not claiming there's a persecution complex, in those countries, anyway.

There is a persecution complex among some sections of the Christian community in the west, however.
