I Would Like To Talk to Atheists Who Aren't Assholes. Do Any of You Exist?

[Kayenneh]

Well, I'm a distressed Catholic looking for answers to some very important questions, but so far the atheists who have responded to me have been rude and obnoxious.

That's sad to hear. Welcome to AF, hopefully you'll enjoy your stay here.

And you are confirming my opinion, which I formed in another forum, that most atheists are assholes and really, they don't know how to debate or carry on a civilized conversation.

And I hope you can confirm that not all Roman Catholics are child molesters. Actually, no, I know already that it's a crude generalization, you could also learn that the 'obnoxious asshole' -label does not equal 'atheist'.

So really, if you guys don't get wise you are going to drive me off and I will leave with the impression that there's no point in talking to atheists.

Going in with that attitude makes it a lot harder for anyone to welcome you. You obviously came here with something in mind, don't let a few rotten apples put you down. And don't think of it as 'no point in talking to atheists', make it people.

And well, if the point of this forum is to gain converts to your cause[/b]

No, converting people is part of your religion. This is a forum made for it's members, a living room on the internet for discussion and socialization., a place for non-believers and believers alike.

[quote]you guys are seriously blowing it if you don't act like normal people instead of jerks.

Define normal. Your attitude truly saddens me, that you instantly assume that everyone you'll meet here is a jerk. Give it time, participate in discussions, start your own threads and relax. It's quite fun here. But behave badly and you'll get the treatment you'll deserve. Happy posting!
