We get it, Drich. But that's the point. You're willing to smash us because we're infidels, but woe betide, if you go after a fellow Believer.
Can you truly not see how we might take this as evidence that you see us as enemies, to whom you can do things you would not do to friends, and thus should be perceived as an enemy in return?

Seriously?!?!
Did you not read the 1000 word essay I sent to Randy? I have no trouble defending my beliefs no matter where or who challenges them. I simply expressed to Randy, as a fellow believer we have a written protocol on how to handel disagreements. "If a brother sins against you pull him to the side privately and tell him of his offence." I was reminding Randy that this was what 'we' are supposed to do. it would have been something I would have done if I had look at his faith status before replying. I just assumed that he was a non believer because All the other believers on this site do this if what one of us says is too far out there. Not that I nor anyone has had to do this often.. (maybe once or twice since I've been here)
That said, I pulled no punches nor did I treat Randy any differently than I would have any of you. And, even on occasion when of you go too far left or way off base and my response would/could be exceedingly harsh I will PM it directly to you so as to not make you/atheist in general look really foolish or really bad in front of your peers. (there are one or two of you following and commenting on this thread that could set up and verify this, for me)
Their is an opposition between where I stand and your side of the fence, but no ill will.
