The word you're looking for is not "assholes", it's "strident".
We're not going to blow anything if you don't like what we have to say. I don't tippytoe around the fragile emotions of people who can't handle honesty. I promise, personally, that I will always tell you, or anyone, exactly what I think. If you have a problem with that, it's your problem, not mine.
I'll carry on a discussion with you, but if I think something you've said is dumb, I'm going to say, "That was fucking dumb, and here's why..."
You can either love it, or shove it. If you get the impression that there is no point in talking to people who do not believe in deities, you shouldn't do it anymore.
Well, I'm Catholic and I've been around Catholics all my life and I have some observations.
Most Catholics are nice people.
You go to a Catholic forum and everyone acts really nice.
You go to a Catholic school, and there may be a few jerks, but most people are nice.
I have not observed this about Protestants or atheists.
In my experience, Protestants are not nice at all. Some of them are downright nasty.
And atheists tend to be very rude, and not nearly as smart as they think they are.
So one thing that makes me think that Catholicism is worthwhile is that believing in it makes people act nicer to other people.
And that's worth something.
So why would I want to be an atheist and hang out with rude, unhappy people?
It doesn't make sense to me.

I can't imagine why you might have run into problems on other forums.
Well, prove me wrong. Put in the effort to act like a civilized person.
