Sorry , but I have to throw my penny worth in here, I found the OP actually offensive. An apology for things which he had nothing to do with, is itself arrogance of a large order and also sickening. How would Crates critics feel if I went out and apologised for everthing you did that might be conceived by others as wrong, you I hope would slap my wrist.
Then if the OP is also apologising to us for what it has done to someone else, this has to be questioned at least, has it actualy done something really wrong, and to get out of having to make proper reparations, it is using us so that it can say it said sorry and in its own mind put its actions behind it without addressing the issue. I know that is conjecture, but I find the OP to have exhibited very questionable behaviour, which naturally inclines me towards a negative responce. Even on face value the OP is saying it is better than other christians, and even I have christian friends and I find that offencive.
The joy I get from this forum is the range of responces a poster gets. After all there is no Atheist code of ethics. As such 'that post is too strong for me' is a legitimate response, but 'your post does not reflect well on what we atheists should feel' is more questionable sort of thing to say.
I know my response to this OP is not the most factual, as I have an emotional response to its posts, but those emotions are evolved, and short of other evidence are worth some note at least, so I find Crates represented my view well. and It is only fair to let the OP know what it is dealing with, as it would not be fair to keep information hidden, because we want to present some sort of false a consensus.
