Do mimsy atheists gyre and gimble in the wabe?

[Kyuuketsuki]

You are disingenuous ... do you read base scientific papers on everything you have an opinion on? No ... I thought not! Is your view on some of those thing meaningless? Probably not.
That I have not read the original articles on some theological issues DOES NOT make my POV on some of these things any less valid especially considering I have dealt with them ad nauseum by proxy.

I think this is a weird little double standard. I agree with the first sentence completely, and if you replaced the word 'scientific' with 'theological' it would hold true for the second statement. That you have not read the articles on theology does not make you POV meaningless, but certainly does make it (at least a little) less valid. You have said the same to me about how I don't appreciate and keep up with the 'scientific journals' you love... To assume the rest of the world is the same as the little piece you have seen, to know all theists because of the few you have known is... ... what's the word... Disingenuous? And, on a final note, what is with the self-censoring?

Er, I am expecting the VERY SAME standards for both .. try paying attention for once in your life Pip!
