"Oooh, the atheists are so mean and start wars all the time, as atheists are wont to.". It's an unfair stereotype that doesn't apply to most people or the general climate here, but I guess you have to have some persecution street cred to be accepted as a real Christian among the faithful.
Taking a break from posting for now. If I decide to leave for good, I'll definitely say goodbye.
I'm sorry about what I wrote. I was really upset when I wrote that, and I shouldn't have made it sound so general. To be fair though, what you quoted is not what I said or what I meant, and it has nothing to do with any persecution complex. Furthermore, some people here say bad stuff about Christians all the time, and stareotype us all the time (as you have just done above), in much worse ways than me basically saying I feel like crap hits the fan a lot with me here. So yes, I'm sorry I wrote that, but I'm a bit annoyed that I'm being held to a different standard and that words were put in my mouth.
I was just paraphrasing what I think your words will look like to outsiders, because I am so tired of atheists being misrepresented this way. I know that's not word for word what you wrote.
Good to see you around anyways.
And I don't know about crap hitting the fan. But the poop hitting the fan... you definitely had a part in that
