Another atheist here

[Werewolff]

LastPoet, you are right. I am relatively inexperienced when it comes to negative experiences with theists. It's partly because I am very tolerant indeed, yes that's true. But I don't see it as being tolerant, because I don't find them or their beliefs to be something to tolerate. I simply don't have a problem with it all. And it's partly because I don't tend to come across theists who also happen to be irritating. And it's also a question of give and take, and keeping an open mind when it comes to understanding where others are coming from. I try not to be judgmental and that's the key. People respond well to that. We all have a desire to be understood and when you grant that, you get positive results. For me it's about communication. Thanks for the welcome. I hope you understand.
