Civility

[Belacqua]

My grief with xtians is that they will generally try every little piece of shit "reasoning" they've ever learned to push the jeebus on people...and do some really shitty things if they don't get their way. They are here generally to poke and prod us to drink the kool-aid, or to at least annoy those "godless heathens". Catholic Lady is the only believer that I have ever seen not do that. Ever. Oh, wait- Aliza. Subsurface support via kudos for other xtian's posts is a different thing, to me. I've come to the conclusion that hanging out at atheist sites paints a bull's eye on both sides. I'm not in the least bit interested in discussing theism/atheism, it is like teaching a horse to sing, from both sides. I've found a few internet friends here who happen to be atheists, simply because we interact on an atheist site. I'm going to take a walk from here soon, and even though I have joined some other atheist sites over the years, I'll probably abandon them, too, in time. Just too much angst, dealing with the dick-headed (both kinds). I don't need that. Life is too short, and I'm at the short end. Not good-bye, just yet.

Yeah, there are a hell of a lot of bad arguments in the world, but after a while on a forum like this it seems like we've heard every single one of them. I don't blame you for having your fill of it. 

It does seem wiser to walk away when you feel done, rather than get angry and lose your cool. And finding two people on the opposite team you can think well of speaks well for you and for them.
