P.S. I may not be "getting it"; but, does that matter? (Answer: no)
By answering a question you've asked me without waiting for an answer, you're doing exactly what offends me.
Yes, it does matter. Why? Because you're saying that atheists have a stance. You're putting words into the mouths and thoughts into the brains of many atheists who don't have things in common that you're attributing to them. I have a big problem with that. I do not give you permission to attribute things to me that I don't necessarily agree with. The only thing you know about me, as an atheist, is that I lack belief in deities. I could think the Earth is made up of green fondant, mozzarella cheese, and tulips dyed blue; you don't know.
Again, I was not addressing you; I was addressing Drich, a believer. But, fine, consider my comment to be withdrawn, and what I said applies to me and me alone.
