Open discussion of the Christian Why We're Here thread

Neo wrote: 

Psalm 1 advises us to not associate around with people who, by adopting the title of atheist, have already signaled their intentional rejection of belief. (I do not believe their self-delusion that an atheist simply lacks belief.) 

 
and:

The majority of AF atheists are New Atheist groupies who spit out one-liners the way candy pops out of Pez heads. 

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.

Bolded part: That was the whole point of the "debate", and frankly too the point of CL "civility" area. They need an area where their accusations and lies go unpunished or unanswered so they are going to do everything they can to make it hallen.

If anyone is a role model for how not to behave on forums, and how not to think about atheists, it has to be Chad/Neo. I hope the other Christians put him straight on some of the nonsense he's putting out there.

That is going to be the big question going forward in that thread.  Will the other Christians, particularly CL, be willing to openly disagree with him?  Or is this just gonna play out as an, ‘it’s us against them’, circle jerk?

It'd be a first gor CL to disagree with Wooters. Every time he picks a fight she defends him, every time he says something hateful about atheism or atheists she kudos' the post.

She's very much in the Cora Sherlock Opus Dei mould, superficially nice but when you start listening and digging you find she holds to quite horrific views.
