Quite a shame how people respond

[Cinjin]

Hi guys.

I've been noticing something bad in almost every thread I go into.

"bad" is highly subjective

The thread starts usually with something a religious person asks about or posts. And what follows is a long thread of ridicule and senseless attacks.

A majority of religious threads are started by non-believers so I don't know what your point is there. Also, ridicule is not a senseless attack. Ridicule is often deserved and warranted.

I am noticing more an more threads that never seem to attack the question and the issue at hand. Threads filled with cheap jokes and insults. Posts that are nothing more than a link or a pair of sentences that don't contribute to the debate.

Most threads here are not formal debates by any stretch of the imagination, and you are merely finding fault with the regular back and forth banter of people who do not share the same ideals. You might as well walk into a bar and chastise two sports fans for mocking each other. Who the hell are you to decide how people should or should not conduct a conversation?

Meanwhile the religious people use those posts to later on claim that they had a "discussion" on an atheist oriented forum and they won the arguments!
"See", they would say; "I posted some of my religious proof and BOOM! Atheists didn't know what to respond".

So? Who cares. They're going to say that regardless of what is written on these forums.

Come on guys!

Get fucked.

You want to comment on a news piece, do so, but with respect to the readers. Maybe write about how morality should not be derived from holy books and how that piece of news contradicted human rights, the teaching of the people who did something...

Thank you Captain Obvious. Spend more than a week here and you'll find that the same rational logical questions/answers have long been presented to the same theists dozens/hundreds of times. Your advice is as useless as it is pretentious.

Atheists are supposed to be the elite of the educated masses. We are supposed to spread knowledge, not ridicule.

That is completely untrue. Some atheists are brilliant. Some are complete and utter fucktards. Atheists are not supposed to be anything, and it is you who has shown that they can be completely obtuse, condescending, pretentious, and full of shit.
