Thank you for your response! I was hoping you'd answer my questions in the format I displayed above. But oh well.
As a nonbeliever with a completely unbiased view (besides the above stated where I have explained my frustrating encounters), I have time and time again found similarities between Christians and Atheists. The same ones.
I have found countless verbal attacks over the internet from both sides. I'm simply trying to delve deeper and discover more about this phenomonon. Haven't we eveolved past this? Am I alone in this? I completely understand the driving Evolutionary forced behind human nature. But I've also found myself thinking outside of it and thinking before speaking.
Example:
Chris the typical Christian: Atheism sucks! Atheist just like to hear themselves talk. Oh LORD in HEAVEN, shine down YOUR Holy Light and show the lost their way! (insert bible verse here)
Angelina the typical Atheist: You're just being ignorant! You're god is primitive and immoral. (insert long and rude paragraph about how Christians and all religions are fake)
Do you see the similarities? We as a community need to stop acting on impulse. When we see stuff like this. It only hurts us and throws fuel to the fire.
And this doesn't only occur on Dawkins, JREF and other forums, but it gets especially heated on facebook, meetme andother social websites. When you scroll through argument after argument and find that both perties have lowered themselves to a level of immaturity that they both look bad; you start to question your species.
Anyways. Just explaining why I'm asking these questions.
