Who did I bitch out at? I merely pointed out that being abusive is an accepted and fun sport. I like it when min does it. Yeah we shouldn't take it too far, and be sensitive. Look around and try not to be hypocritical. Expect to be on the receiving end of your own medicine sometimes.

And yet oddly, you're perfectly willing to bitch everyone else out for being abusive...

You see, Esq, you are a relatative newcomer so you do not appreciate Frod's subtle humor. His contribution to a thread on theists arguing ineffectively is to give a demonstration of such ineffectiveness!

Sometimes however, I am disappoint. Must be a slow day at the coal face.

Shit happens, Frods.

because being bored of something doesnt mean you stop doing something sometimes.

For example me being bored of researching islamic and christian claims to find out they are a hoax each and every time and being bored of it but at the same time being compelled to because of how annoying it is the claims are made in the first place.

Right. It's not like we're collectively calling all theist's dumb or anything.

Just duped and indoctrinated, possibly with a lower threshold for evidence than should be required. But not dumb.

Smart people can be wrong too.

"duped and indoctrinated" ... expressions of misunderstanding.

Religious faith is the grandest expression of misunderstanding.
