I have noticed that not everyone one but a good number of senior Atheist members while replying to the post a member of any faith, resolve to lots of profanity and derogatory terms. They use of lot of swear words instead of tackling their replies with some logic and civility . I don't see them any different and they are as extremist and intolerant in their views as the extremist Muslims' I mention in the above paragraph.
I won't deny that we swear and use profanities and insult people, but we don't just do that. If you actually bothered to properly read anything, you would most probably note that in the same paragraph of an insult or a profanity, there is an explanation as to why. We don't just say 'you're an idiot', we say 'you're an idiot because...'
If you don't like swearing, then this forum probably isn't for you, in fact, the internet probably isn't for you either for that matter.
