Militant Atheism?

[Data]

Do you consider catholics posting on a catholic forum to be militant catholics?

Militant isn't a derogatory term for me. To me it just means outspoken opposition and there isn't anything wrong with that. A Catholic on a Catholic reform or former Catholic forum would most likely be militant. I don't object to being referred to as militant theist in the context of the forums I participate in, but in real life nothing could be further from the truth.

A personal insult, but you want people to refrain from personal insults in their responses?

No, I think personal insults are a natural result of frustration in an ideological debate/discussion. What I don't want is so many personal insults there isn't any real substance or it makes it difficult for me to follow a thread and respond to as many people as may be engaging me. I like rolling up my sleeves and getting down and dirty with the unwashed heathen. Clears the sinuses.

Oh my goodness! Ouch! You don't pull any punches, little britches. Let's get out the dictionary for clarification. Bigot: a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.

I like that. But it sounds to me like you and I are in the same boat, and that som'bitch has BIGOT written in huge letters on the stern. Can I get an amen! brothers and sisters! A yea us a. That's the best spelling of a parody of a televangelist I could do - look what I have to work with here!
