While rumbuggerylash posted something quite provoking, I must say that a lot of the more insulting replies just weren't that...impressive. His conclusion is also incorrect, but honestly, how do you think he would react to this sort of thing?
But what really annoys me is that rumbuggerylash has conveniently skipped over some of the replies here, which deserved some attention and an answer. Plus, there is enough proof on the internet in plenty of atrheist forum databases that religion did not stop certain religious persons from name calling and other vile behavior. It seems that religion or the lack thereof has little to do with such behavior. Hence my signature
I think that both sides lost, but both in a different way.

When I was a Christian, I was annoyed with dogmatic condescending Christians. Now that I'm an atheist, I'm annoyed with dogmatic condescending atheists. Just goes to prove that people are the same, regardless of what they do or don't believe.
