And actually, I was reluctant to return. Most of you are making a very bad impression and I have to say you're not doing much good for the cause of atheism.
My question to you is, do you act like this in real life? My guess is no. If you acted like this in real life, people would shun and avoid you.
If you're going to come into a forum and petulantly throw your weight around like you've done so far, then basically you're going to piss of a lot of people.
That you so embarrassed yourself in this way that you felt reluctant to return cuts very little ice, at least with me. Stay and contribute something of value, or don't. I'm willing to lay money that no-one's put a gun to your head and made you sign up here. So far you're making a very bad impression and I would say you're not doing very much good for the cause of Catholicism if I were the kind of person who judged a whole sector of the population based on my experiences with one or two individuals.
My question to you is, do you act like this in real life? My guess is of no consequence but my hope for your sake is that you do not. If you acted like this in real life, people might shun and avoid you, though it's more likely they'd want to collect a few teeth.
I look forward to my words being a) ignored or b) interpreted as intolerant and hateful.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
