Atheists

[Paul the Human]

@Godhead: You are way off base. I'm not actively angry. I have anger about a few things, as do we all, but I am not actively angry. I do not have rages that need controlling, as it seems you are trying to suggest. If you think I have seemed angry when dealing with you, you are misinterpreting frustration as anger and 'making fun of' as 'lashing out'. I can honestly say that I have not typed a word on these forums out of anger, without considering what I was saying and doing. If I seem to express anger, then I purposely expressed anger. If I call your beliefs retarded, what I am really saying is that I think your beliefs are retarded. No anger. Just ridicule.

From my experience, those with religion are far angrier than those without. Do theists anger me? No... not unless they say or do something that pisses me off... and it takes a lot to piss me off. Most of the time, all it takes to piss them off is say, "I'm an atheist." Does Relgion anger me? Oh, yes. Yes, it does.

Do I agree that anger can be hurtful and/or harmful if internalized? Yes. Of course. Every time. Do I agree that anger can be hurtful and/or harmful if it is expressed? Yes... if it is expressed in a hurtful and/or harmful manner, i.e. not every time it is expressed.

I would ask you to, please, stop assuming you know what is in my mind or how I actually feel about anything. You do not.
