Why Should Someone Be an Atheist?

[Angrboda]

My appraisals are likely slightly more prescient than someone who can't tell I'm female by looking at the gender indicated in my profile, or get a clue from the fact that my persona is that of a female Jew, and prior to that was a female vampire named 'Abby'..

Abby? Who the heck is that?

Sorry, rasetsu . I'm certain your appraisals are the bomb, incisive and shrewd. However I'd not compare them with mine because I would not presume to give people here "appraisals". I don't consider it appropriate to "appraise" people on internet forums. Its a field I've never desired to specialize in.

Listen dicknose, you raised the subject by giving your appraisal of internet Christians on atheist forums and how they differ from the average Christian. I don't for a second believe your complaint is anything but a personal attack on my character, but for you to initiate the round of appraisals of forum theists, and now try to whine about me contributing my thoughts, that's hypocritical in the extreme. But then, that's typical, average Christian behavior, and hardly surprising from someone who doesn't seem to know whether he's coming or going with regard to his own faith and its relationship to non-theistic worldviews. Fuck off, douche boy.

I know quite a few nice, and sane christians. Thing is they're not the ones who tend to go on forums and discuss their faith. Any Christian who seeks out a specifically atheist forum to hang out in is bound to have an agenda.
