"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.
Fair point, C_L. Seriously.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
