You need a course in how not to be a complete asshole Kyu. Go fuck off and find a forum that supports your bigoted xenophobia. Richard Dawkins Forums perhaps

Just wondering. Is that asshole classification thing in the advanced theology course or just in the shit they feed the dumb masses?

You apparently do not understand basic theology Rabbit never mind advanced. Therefore in this course you've picked your seat. I guess there's no getting out of it.

Oh nice. I'm totally ready for it. Bring on your god that created the universe but prefers hide and seek since then. Are we gonna do some miracles here with fish and stuff? Or are you gonna stink up the place with a little sermon first? I'm all ears.

You people are just crazy.

Your opinion there is your privilege, lol.

EvF

Your the least crazy. This is craziness, is that more apt?

Thank you EvF.

Lmfao, I certainly wouldn't say I was the least crazy here! Lol.

Besides, craziness isn't always a bad thing methinks ^^

My first point is a question, one that I do not intend to sound trivial but, in fact, quite sincere: "Why do you expect atheists to conduct themselves with moral etiquette?" You do have this expectation, but I find myself wondering how you came to have it. I should like this point to be addressed by you. (And I mean Pippy, since the question is not addressed to anyone else.)

My second point is related but separate. You talk about cynicism but this expectation of yours, I have to tell you, contradicts cynicism. A person who is perplexed by ill-treatment from atheists is actually an idealist whose view is being confounded by reality. A cynic, I should think, would expect atheists to conduct themselves without moral etiquette, a pessimist who is not the least bit surprised by, ahem, "bellicose stultiloquence" or the sort of egregious feculence that Kyuuketsuki so frequently posts.

Here is a thought, and it reflects one of my original posts on the first page: Respond to posts that are thoughtful and considerate, ignore posts that are irrational and vituperate (especially those that exhibit inarticulate Tourette's). You cannot reason someone out of something they did not reason themselves into.

Here is another thought: Did it ever occur to you that Kyuuketsuki is simply getting a kick out of riling you up, that you are playing right in to his mental masturbation? To put the matter more acutely, you might be your own worst enemy; i.e., his tripe works only if you enable it. So don't.
