A Serious Question For Theists

[Rampant.A.I.]

Yes, seriously, a little over the top. Maybe not even that. If the same things were said by an atheist toward a theist, no one would have blinked.

Indeed, but they're not claiming the moral high ground . When you wave the bible and tell people they should live by it, they will expect you to practice what you preach.

But I respect your view alpha. You're still a Christian, I'm not, so will be guided by you in what constitutes appropriate Christian behaviour.

That being the case allow me to say,  safe in the knowledge that I'm behaving in a Christian way, that you are less than a sniveling little brat, that it was a sad day when you were born. It always has to be your way or it's wrong, moma raised a brat of the grosses kind, I hope she's proud of something less than human. I have more respect for worms and value them more than I would ever value you. I guess you're getting what you wanted all along to ban me well go ahead I couldn't care less, at least I want have to put up with your arrogant self serving snotty nosed cry baby crap.

Amen.

This is what bothers me: foul language on an Internet forum somehow = negative quality of a person.

Heinous, vile, rape apologizing, genocide-condoning, slit-shaming, woman-hating, gleeful cheer for eternal torture of another human being with threat of potential violence by a theist, with no foul language = positive quality of a person.

I understand that there is a superstitious hold-over in some Christian sects that words have power over objects, and that thoughts are almost equivalent to action, and mere thoughts can be sins.

This makes absolutely no sense, and in my view is equivalent to superstitions like saying "bless you" after a sneeze to prevent demons from entering the body.

If you compare the actual content of the theist posts aimed at atheists (you're going to burn forever in hell, you deserve it, ha ha that's funny) to the content of posts theists use as "evidence" that secular people are morally bereft, e.g. being told to "fuck off" after the third gleeful eternal condemnation to unending torture, it just doesn't add up.
