Then why do they bother to respond to the posts at all? There are plenty of other sub-forums for them to haunt. When I am sick of cheeseburgers, I don't go to McDonald's.
No, they aren't "sick of the same old stuff"...they are anti-Christian, and they want to vent because they are angry at God, the Catholic Church and Christianity, in general. This is evident because in the "Why Be Good?" thread, everyone is falling all over themselves trying to explain how good they are to others and so forth...except to the only Christian currently active in the thread.
The hypocrisy is obvious.
To "be angry at god" we'd generally have to believe in god. And to be fair, I am very much "anti-christian", that is accurate. As far as "being good"? Atheists are vilified and compared to devil worshipers (even when they don't believe in the devil), so it is fairly natural to want to project our human/good side.
I believe the belief in your god causes more harm than good. And there is plenty of evidence to prove it. Can you make the same statement? Does "lack of belief in god" do more harm than good? Can you prove it?
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
