I'm new to this forum, but don't think that makes me new to atheist discussion groups (got tired of the woo-based political factions and poor format for interaction over on Patheos.com). After years of watching such discussions as this one, I really find Catholic Lady's apologetics as tiresome as they are insulting, and I just can't be cool about this particular issue when so many people are being harmed by her ideas. I can't be cool about this because those who suffer under her whims aren't somebody else's future, they are MY future! Maybe you live in a different country than the US, if so you couldn't possibly understand.
Oh, stuff it. All you've done is disparage what CL said without offering one concrete objection. Whether or not people are being harmed by her ideas is irrelevant. From her point of view the same is true in reverse.

If you think you aren't wasting your time entertaining her, then you haven't been around the atheist scene long enough.
What a weak, pompous ass you are. You do not speak for atheists generally. If you have a complaint you'd like to make against what CL has said at least have the cajones to address her directly.
Most of us know her well enough to know she is speaking with candor from her values, not all of which we share. But you make few friends here with this kind of indirect character assassination of a person who is a well respected member of our community. Civility will take you further. It certainly has her.

What would you do if you witnessed a rape? Would you look the other way, or would you try and intervene?
Please do not presume to speak for atheists generally. Not all of us are anti-abortion. In short, bugger off.
Your reading comprehension really sucks ass - I won't even bother responding to your pitiful attacks because anything I say would sail right over your head.

"Bugger off" - now there's a really cute Britishism!
You on the other side of the pond have that luxury of playing nice, while its the schools in my country which continue to church out low self-esteem and half-educated people who will be running banks, hospitals, and governments in MY country - so don't YOU criticize my manners with the people who perpetuate this fairy-tale disease of the human mind which people like Catholic Lady promote!
Mr. Hanky loves you!
