I was supposed to read that into your frank, blunt statement about theists?

I'm talking to you.
Quote:The fact that you don’t see their beliefs as equally comforting is an effect of your cultural indoctrination and personal tastes- and yet another argument for anti-theism.
What beliefs? You've yet to present one. I've asked you . . . twice.
Quote:Even though you aren’t a christian, you are either incapable of seeing comparable benefit ( for whatever that’s worth) in those other beliefs, or are apparently unaware of their very existence.
You could enlighten me, but is it possible that you yourself don't know of one?
Quote:Try google.
Nope. I asked you. You made an assertion. You know the drill.
Quote:You’re taking issue with a single sentence on account of it being an unflattering comparison...
Nope. On the basis of it being a fucking massive blanket statement.
Quote:It’s nit exactly impossible for human beings to do a shitty thing, individually and as a group, fir Good Reasons. Antitheism contends that theism (theism....theism.....theism) persuasively compels people into that range of thought and action.
And, that has fuck all to do with what I was talking to you about.
You contend that (theists .... theists .... theists) are baddies. If that's not what you mean, don't say it. I suspect rather that you're backtracking like a motherfucker.
