Delicate Offers a Truce

[Delicate]

A lot of atheists are mad at me. Perhaps for good reason- I've been a bit of a meanie-poo.

But a part of me also feels justified in acting all rambunctious and feisty because that's how I was treated early on without justification.

But I'm willing to set all that aside and start afresh. Clean slate and all.

Is this something we're all amenable to?

Nobody is mad at you, but say for your bad use of logic, yes. Again our reactions are no different than if you had a friend walking around claiming the Yankees won the Superbowl. You are confusing your own cognitive dissonance for us being angry personally at you. Some may be, me personally no, but yes, your bad claims do irritate me. 

I wonder what you expected coming here. If you thought this was going to be a library 100% of the time that was a mistake. Instead of saying "alot of atheists" if you have a beef with someone take it up with that individual not all of us. And if that individual does not respond the way you like, then you go to the admins. That is the way most websites work, including theists websites.

Atheists are not lost puppies for you to save. This website will also NOT boot you merely for believing. They have booted atheists as well. They've also pulled me over a couple of times. 

Now if you are done with your pity party my advice is for you to treat everyone here as individuals. We wont barbecue your kittens nor do we drink blood. You are not the first believer to join this website nor or you the first believer to post on any atheist social media, nor will you be the last.

All of us here have family members and or co workers and friends who have some sort of belief to some degree. We are not mad at you personally, at least not most of us. But again, bad logic irritates most of us. You need to learn to separate you the person, from what you claim. All taking it personally will do is make you miserable.

I understand what you're saying. And I've always, without exception, been willing to discuss these cases of alleged bad logic.

But the evidence has never been forthcoming. Only the assertions come through. And this can be verified by looking at my conversations.

You can also prove me wrong my pointing to the evidence. I welcome that.

I will pledge that if people are willing to debate the issues with substantive criticisms that don't rely on ad hominem attacks, namecalling, deliberate caricatures, and empty rhetoric, I pledge to respond with the same substance, and more.
