But who are you addressing?

Geez, you sure do like that praise don't you. Seems like tin money to me.

Didn't think it was me but I really have no idea. Oh well, trying to understand is a habit.

Also Hammy,
If you truly only need one sound argument, the Kalam Cosmological arguement is sound  You don’t see anyone in a debate (professionals) arguing that it isn’t just village atheists on he internet!

"Village atheists", eh? This is part of why you get no respect from me...that supercilious attitude where it isn't called for.
I'm done looking at this lunacy, from you and the rest.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

The irony from a discussion calling all theists irrational is pretty humorous here IMHO! And to clarify I was referring to some making a specific arguments as not being the best and brightest of the bunch.

Quote:And my point was that plenty of atheists also think we need fixing. Just as one example, few months ago, Mathilda made a whole thread full of unflattering generalizations about how theists are immature and not properly raised. There are some who think we have mental illnesses.
The point of my post in defense of Neo was to say that plenty of people here are guilty of doing exactly what he did. So I think there's a bit of a double standard when Neo gets dragged through the mud for doing the same thing that plenty of people here have done.
So that makes Neo's comments okay ?
Plus their is difference between saying the religious need to be fixed and Bubbles comments . So no double standards sorry burst your martyrdom complex .

I explained already that I had originally held back from writing that thread but after having been offended by theists I decided not to hold back. I can say now that it was predominantly because of some of Neo's threads.
But I shall emphasise the point that I am trying to make because you seem to keep ignoring it.
It is that the theists seem to not understand how they are offending others and therefore see themselves as the only ones who are being hurt when the backlash comes.
That's not to say that what atheists are saying wouldn't be offensive as well. You make valid points about how some of the things said such as religion as a mental illness is offensive. That doesn't mean to say that they aren't necessarily valid arguments though. But I would like to point out one other small thing. This is a fucking atheist forum. This is where atheists come to talk about being an atheist, most often because they have to live lives surrounded by theists offensively trying to save them again after the struggle of breaking free from religion. And some people have been quite abused by religion. Many atheists have to pretend to be a theist and can't even live their own lives. Being a theist you don't have that problem. So don't come here expecting the kind of privilege that you have in your society to be given to you here as well in what for many is an atheist refuge.
Otherwise it's like being a white straight man offended at being told that it's inappropriate to try sleeping with as many women as possible in a woman's refuge.
