OK
No problem, misunderstanding. Yes I too don't like trying to shut down a meaningful discussion by trying to dismiss the whole thing with a wave of a hand, that's just bullying and dishonest.
I think the biggest thing to take away from this so far is to educate everyone on what atheism is. Barely any theists I've talked to seem to get it, and some people who are atheists say they are not because they don't understand it either.
Until everyone agrees what it is we're discussing, it kind of goes nowhere. If the public can't differentiate between atheism and the acts of specific atheists, we're banging our heads against a wall pretty hard.
