So the beliefs one holds about reality are like one's taste in ice cream -- mere matters of personal pleasure and whim? Is that really what you wish to suggest?
How's that bankrupt relativism working out for you, oh mature one?
I'll tell you what, you spend the next few decades dealing with this shit and then you can tell me all about the joys of singing "Kumbaya" with the faithful.

You aren't nearly as mature as you think you are.
If being mature is what you people are saying in this thread, then I don't want to grow up.
"You people"? Yeah, because we are all the same, amirite?

That isn't really the stereotypical image of atheist, you'll find the real stereotypical image of an atheist on here.
That's just a bit of a joke there.

I believe that you need a motor oil enema - respect my beliefs.
I believe that you should be stoned in the street - respect my belief.
Now that we've established a few of my beliefs
for you to respect, let's carry them out shall we?
That's the problem with respecting stupid beliefs -
sooner or later those beliefs will have a mob at your
door to hang you. Or they'll just fly planes into your
house. RESPECT MY BELIEFS OR ELSE!
You are a moron, and it is YOU who gives
atheists a bad image - that's my belief - respect it!
I respect your belives, and that's not a sarcasm.

If you think that ridiculous ideas do not deserve respect, then it's your opinion. How can one ''understand'' something that isn't a fact? It's like saying, ''you don't understand that lemon ice cream is the best''.
You clearly did not understand what I said. Read all of it, not just your partial quote.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

I came to this forum not to brag about my kindness, but to be one of members and share my arguments for God's nonexistence. But I can't stand it when someone is insulted, and that's why I made this thread - so atheists can see their mistakes and stop being so rude. I didn't name this thread: ''Look at my kindness!''. I want to show you the errors of your ways, how you decrease your efficiency by being rude.
You don't care about being above people but have no problem starting a thread to point out how others are lesser for using insults and show them the "error of [their] ways." Besides, people's rudeness doesn't exist in a vacuum. Much of the time there is a context behind it that needs to be understood.
By the way, how rude is it to ride in on your high horse and insist everyone behave exactly as you do? If you want to deal with the issue of respect, take a long, hard look in the mirror first before you berate others with your self-righteous pomposity and word policing.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
