Atheists turning to cult behaviour?

[SoFarEast]

No, it doesn't. I've marched in support of gay rights. Twice I've intervened when I saw guys getting a girl drunk in order to rape her, once at a party I was attending, once after a recording session, unwinding. That's not counting voting, and treating with people without regard to their genitalia or sexual proclivity. I've put my money where my mouth is, locally.

Please accept my apology. I was not aware. Stupid thing to do on my part.

No, your original post stated the following:

Hello.

I've observed a growing trend in public interactions and online spaces in the way atheists behave. Bullying women, insulting gays, alienating anyone who doesn't subscribe to nerd culture. Is the lack of humanistic principles in Atheism leading to cult behavior?

Notice you don't qualify "atheists" with "some", or another modifier that indicates it's not a broad generalization. Insulting gays is certainly bigoted behavior. And you specifically introduce the idea of atheism leading into cultism. These are not "assumptions" I've made; these are your words.

Ok. I admit this is a total mess. I didn't explain myself clearly and was lost myself deflecting people's accusations never trying to explain myself clearly. My intention to point out the bad behavior of some atheists was to see if anyone agreed it would be more rational or socially beneficial if people tried to identify with anything more than pure disbelief. Bad grammar and trying to defend a little too much has clearly made a mess.

I don't think that was his intent. I think his intent, one which I agree with, was to tell you to get the fuck off your high horse and stop criticizing others when you, by your own admission, have done nothing on your own.

I still think Cato was only being a dick. He asked me for where I come from, dug up some stats and posted all with the sole purpose of maligning.

I however, get the point.

Aaaaaarggghhhhh!!! I have a devouring headache! Maybe I'll try this some other time in a better manner.
