Letter to an Atheist.

[KichigaiNeko]

Dear Atheist,

I wanted to bring to your attention, the worrying trend that you have developed when interacting with non atheists. Maybe you aren't aware how obnoxious and pompous you are.

I must admit that you are more clever than your average non atheist and that is evident in your posts; but you are also more rude, impatient and down right childish in your aggressive 'attacks' against proposed ideas that don't fit your definition of truth. You display no patience, good will or humour even, in your counter arguments.

If you are 'right' about a point, then its truth is made ugly or impotent by your methods of establishing it and maybe will result in some not 'seeing' the truth you 'defend'. You are in a privileged position that gives you power: having knowledge that many don't have. Share your knowledge wisely and peacefully, then it will grow.

best wishes

Catherine

p.s
Obviously this letter is not aimed at atheists per se but to the people who are responsible for driving Diamond and myself away. Of course their 'atheism' does not cause them to be like they are, but rather their egos and puffed up pride. (hence why this letter is not in the Atheism section).

Yeah this forum has become full of vitriol lately, we might have to tighten up the rules again, never a popular move but this has happened before and last time we tightened the rules a lot of people made a big deal of it and left, then things settled down and we relaxed the rules, then over a year or so the nastiness returned.

It's damn hard striking the right balance, we want to be as open as possible but at the same time we don't want to drive off the theists who stop by.

DiamondDeist was damn irritating, but still I think in retrospect we all (myself included) were a bit harsh. It's hard to find a polite way to tell someone they're full of shit.

No you weren't v0id. WTF makes you think for one minute that llife on this rock is a fucking walk in the park??? HELLO!!

This planet is hard and harsh and ...Oh forgive me that I would apply these paranmeters to a forum that values critical thinking and logic??

Fuckin bullshit Vi0d and et al. No you call the shots as you saw them and these delicate xtians decided to pull the "get out of jail free" card called "victim-mentality" we have enough of this shit here in Oz with these fukin asylum-seekers so why on this rock should they be tolerated on an ATHEIST FORUM sans their argument for their position???

Please explain?? And WHY IS IT SOOOO HARD TO USE SPELL CHECK??
