back onto something you are willing to discuss.

What do you think of the logic here;

Squarely down the middle? Equal in numbers? Are there bad ‘good’ people and good ‘bad’ people? What about the sub-groups?

If you had been able to read the post with adequate comprehension, you would have seen that the ten items were examples of possible pitfalls on the theistic side that must logically have a similar mirrored atheistic pitfall if the premise of Deidre's and Jacob's claim of similar slippery slope pitfalls were true. It was not an attempt nor an invitation to bring 10 new completely unrelated topics into the discussion. A careful read shows that clearly.
I invited you to start a new thread on those topics if you wished, but instead of doing so, you simply make empty postures.

As for Jacob's "we're all equally bad" claim, I don't think it's true, useful, or applicable to the issue. I don't think it's true because atheists are, on the whole, non-violent. I don't think it's useful, because that statement claims that atheists and theists are on the same level, thus there is no slope to be slippery on. I don't think it is applicable to the discussion because the behavior of the general population, of which is made up of theists and atheists, has the same level of vice, but the point of discussion was not the messengers, but the message, that the pushing of reason and logic against religious superstition has no negative side effects that might cause one to "slip" into a pitfall.

After this discussion I should get a medal for nailing Jello.
Find the cure for Fundementia!
