Many former christians have had the wingnuttery beaten into their brains over long periods so much that such feelings of vicarious guilt are really difficult to shake off.
It is flat out brainwashing, and that is not easily reversed.
Now, are you prepared to say out front to an escaping theist that they can go take an unlikely anatomical excursion, or would it be better to gently assist them? What do you think?
And if perhaps you are just an angry atheist, there are plenty of die hard god botherers on this site upon whom you can vent aplenty if you wish.
But picking upon those at their most vulnerable when they are finding their way out of the morass of superstition? ~That is disgusting.
