Hello Candles...nice to meet you
A typical ploy by a two year old mind in my opinion..... rest assured you have the right of reply ....then this issue will end up as a debate rather than some 'douchebag' calling you a 'douchebag'
So write your reply already!!
Articulate that the personal attack on you in no way makes the FACT that many religious persons find comfort in the ritual and mindlessness of their chosen belief system and less valid.

I am so shocked and upset by this. My comments were answering the question of whether religion can be comforting, and there was no derogatory language, no attack, no negative connotation. I'm a moderate atheist in the sense that whilst I have strong opinions, I still believe in freedom of religion and don't like it when atheists attack/ridicule theists, cos it makes us all seem like total intolerant douchebags.
