Nope, no thinkers here.

This does not apply to everybody here. But it does apply to most. It seems that the official playbook for this forum should read. "shout down the opposing point of view, insult, insult, sarcasm" Oh and accuse them of everything that we are guilty of.

We don't have a playbook. We do tend to have a low tolerance for bad arguments, which is not the same thing as a low tolerance for theists, although it may appear that way to you.

I believe that most here come here because they need to be reassured that they are right.

I bet you believe that because it fits your preconceptions about us.

I believe that some people have a hard time standing on their own two feet here and others must come to the rescue.

Who has had to be rescued from you? If I went to a Christian forum, would I find that some people have a hard time standing on their own two feet and others must come to the rescue? Or would I find that in a forum where my point of view is a minority and contrary to the majority, there are plenty of people to object to what I say?

Most are very cold and bitter individuals that are clearly unable to think about anything that questions their beliefs and are masters of diversion.

Most theists who come here are dishonest wretches who couldn't think their way out of a paper bag. The few who don't fit that profile are like a breath of fresh air and tend to last as long as they care to stay. I suspect that's a property of the internetz though, in real life I wouldn't expect a theist who knows I'm an atheist to waltz into my home to preach at me, then wonder why I'm not very welcoming.

It has strengthend my faith to no end to see how the other side treats outsiders. I defy any of you to go to a christian forum and ask honest questions and see what kind of response you will get.

What's the point? You're not sticking around to see the results. I do fine on religous forums because I'm careful to be a good guest. I lurk a bit to get the lay of the land and read the rules and am careful to abide by them--after all, I am agreeing to them when I sign up. I'm there because I really want to learn something, and tend not to be very active once I've learned what I came to find out. I tend to be sympathetic, as I understand that under different circumstances, I could have been one of them. Of course, the fair comparison would be to find each one of your posts, change the words just enough to make it sound like they're coming from an atheist, and post THAT on a Christian forum to see what kind of response we get.

Christians are far from perfect but we are not as a whole the intolerant, bigoted, narrow minded people that your people paint us as.

You know, this is the only post I know you by, and it reeks of intolerance, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness. I'm not the one with the paint, you're rolling around in it and blaming me for pointing out that it's all over you.

I wish each of you the best in life. Peace im outtie.

Passive-aggressive much? Your well wishes ring a little hollow following your diatribe. I hope you gain some perspective in your further adventures on the intertubez.
