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.

WHO? 

There is no "double standard" when someone is standing up to a bully. So when an a theist says, "You do it too" we ask "who, which individual."

You know from being here we as atheists do not always like each other. You also know, or should know by now, that there is a huge difference between valuing human rights, which we all should, and the separate issue of claims, and no, not every single claim a human might make should be blindly valued, even if we defend the right to make the claim.

It is not a "double standard" for example to say that Koptic Christians and Kurdish Christians live under oppressive majorities in the east, while at the same time saying the bible still contains an immovable head figure that does not need human consent to rule over humans. 

It is not a "double standard" to point out that both a bigoted far right Christian is still using the same bible that a liberal Christian is using, in much the same way you can accept that the Koran is still the same holy book that both Bin Laden and Malala value. 

So again, WHO? Which individuals here are you claiming have a "double standard."?
