If you are trying to say that atheists on here are rude to Christians for being Christian, then you are mistaken. Its the holier then thou attitude I think.
It's more than one. The simple fact is that theists do often get treated rudely on here. I have no issue with that, nor with theists "biting back" as it were. None of that stops anyone from presenting an argument and finding ways to back it with convincing data or evidence. But some people find it a convenient to hide behind "mommy the people are being mean to me and I cannot collect my thoughts" or some similar nonsense. If a person can prove god, then the vitriol would feel much better than it does when you try to pass a poor argument off as worthy of consideration.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
