I just read them and they are pretty disgusting. I don't do reedit, because it seems like a lot of people that comment there, in general, took a lesson from a youtube comment's section in order to learn how to talk on the internet. Maybe I've just been to the wrong places though.
That would be the point. The internet breeds that kind of ugliness. It's not seeing people face to face and anonymity--sorta like road rage. What it isn't is the product of atheism in particular.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
