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.

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.
1. Lol.
2. I take it you're not going to answer my question, so let me ask you again then. What "horrific, fundamentalist views" do I have? Particularly, that make me more fundamentalist than the group of nuns, like you claimed? You're always claiming I have them, but never stated what they are. I'd be delighted to know, my gorgeous love! Proof! Proof I say!
"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."
