Science was once a child of the church.

. In my view, that is immature response. And disrespectful.

Disrespect?

What is disrespect to a theist, who demonstrates total ignorant and both the concept and history of atheism, and who yet come impertinently to an atheist forum to presume to tell atheists what atheism is and where it came from?

I understand this reaction, I have been on religious boards for over 20 years, and most of them now have a significant atheist presence. And I have debated them for years. Today, I wanted to experience what becoming a member of an atheist board would like. I tried it once last year, I lasted 2 days. I am still a member there, but my first thread caused such an uproar, they closed it. So I never went back.

I figured since I debate them everyday anyway, how would that change on their home turf?
