How are you displaying any more humility than him? Your post makes the assumption that your manner of doing things is somehow better, despite that you are not practicing what you are preaching. You also suggest that the same thing he said about theists is true of atheists. You go on to say that "most" atheists on this forum use terms that disgust you, which is clear bullshit because only a select few here even use the term retard. So, it is okay to take an insult and direct it at someone else, but not okay to be original about it? Isn't calling someone arrogant, whilst taking on a mammy role and little arrogant? Oh, please. Looks like someone just feels like having a moral high ground moment. Consider the moment yours, however false it may be.

Really? I just love these "wouldn't the forum be so much better if everyone was Jesus" moments. You try having an interesting conversation that consists of "Dinosaurs and people lived together" and "Well, sir, I politely disagree." "You're going to hell." "Well, I disagree with that too." ad infinitum. People aren't disparaging others for disagreeing. They are disparaging others for supporting hate-filled dogma that should have been discarded centuries ago. When someone inserts a religious bias that is detrimental to the forward momentum of mankind, you bet I'm going to chew his ass out. This is already the most theist welcoming atheist forum I know of. I don't think we need to take it further than that.
