And some people wonder why some atheists go on the defensive. It's because crap like that is said that generalizes atheists. We shouldn't have to stay silent or keep our opinions to ourselves. Theists want to come in here and say they don't feel like they are treated fairly or they can't debate properly with atheists because of insults and shit slinging coming from atheists, but when they show us that they are not capable of playing by their own rules, they make it difficult to play nice in return.
Please don't ask us to give what you aren't will to give in the first place. Knowing that we can't respond directly on that thread because atheists don't have permission, is really bullshit. The two quotes above don't even address the actual question being asked of Christians. It's just another way for Neo to get a jab in while feeling superior and untouchable in the process.
Sorry but those comments should be dealt with by a moderator because they don't stick to the actual debate topic and are in no way civilized comments.
