But there are many people here who post condescending and blanketed things about theists quite frequently as well. Personally I don't like either being done. But if you're ok with one side of the fence doing it, it doesn't make much sense to call out the other side for doing it as well. Otherwise it's a double standard and a bit hypocritical.
That's because you have the misguided belief that christianity is true and supported by evidence that would convince anyone who examines it. We're just calling a spade a spade, and asking for proof that we're wrong. And, not only are we not getting it, we're being insulted for even asking it and not believing the tripe submitted as evidence. Condescension is a reasonable response to bullshit. It's isn't to people who don't share your beliefs.
Hmmm I'm not sure where your accusations of me here are coming from, since they have nothing to do with the post you are responding to lol.
But anyways... I wasn't referring to when you guys call for proof. I was referring to the condescending, blanketed things said about theists quite frequently by some people here.
And to clarify, i'm not complaining about those things. Just pointing out the double standard that when a theist does the same thing to you, you think he's a total jerk.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
