I am getting less and less impressed with your critical thinking ability the more you post.
Yes, yes, see my response above.
You are entitled to express your opinion. Personally I'd prefer not to form an opinion on someone without a better understanding of their philosophy, there are often subtleties that make sense of seemingly crass comments. It takes time to grasp a persons entire personal philosophy, at least a person who has taken years to develop one. I'd be loathed to judge that based on a few internet forum posts, but then I don't assume people want to know about my judgement of them, it is, after all, irrelevant.

If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
