Orc-minded People

Hey! You can't generalise like that. As a former Pentecostal born-again Christian, I still hold on to some basic values that are considered Christian, especially like not swearing.

I'm not a prude, don't get me along. I will occasionally drop a swearword if I get the impulse.

But I have never seen a forum like this, where cussing and swearing and browbeating insults are permitted as if it was legitimate argument.

The only forum I've seen worse than this is the Family Guy fan forum, which is like walking in pigshit its so foul.

You atheists are holding yourself to a very low standard of conduct.

Is that really the impression you want to give to the outside world, a world that you are trying to convince that atheism should be accepted as the equal of any religion?

We're not some sort of team here. The only thing we have in common is that we lack the belief in a deity. That's the only thing that brings us together. Other than that, the next atheist from me could very well be a Buddhist who also believes in ghosts. Nothing in common there apart from our lack of faith in god(s).

This is why I don't call myself an atheist but go one further and say on top of that I'm a free thinker. Don't box me into that label that theists have attached so many other connotations to, because I most likely don't fit into the description you have in your head of what an 'atheist' is like.
