The Atheist Obsession with Insulting Christians

[Crossless2.0]

^This^

Look, I'm as guilty as anyone here of throwing bombs and insults when I get bored or frustrated with a member. Honestly, I'm not quite such a prick in my day-to-day life and would welcome opportunities to get to know something about some of our religious members aside from what apologetics they favor and how often they can cite the Bible or Koran.

I've long thought that when it comes to GC, Drich, Chad, and -- yes -- even Randy, I would probably like each of them IRL and would enjoy them a lot more here if they would just for once stop yapping about their faith. There are other things to talk about, after all, and it's good to lighten up occasionally.  (Professor gets a pass on the religious talk since he is so delightfully loony. I wouldn't change a thing.) And I liked CL from the start. But as others have said, she's made an effort to become something in our little community other than an antagonist.

Vinegar or honey, theists.  Vinegar or honey.

But as Sheldon Cooper once said, "You can catch more flies with feces, what's your point?"

Lol sorry I had to.  But I totally agree with you Crossless.  This forum is about having discussions in general.  We will always discuss our main topic and points of disagreement, but we are also all people and there is a plethora of topics to engage about regardless of our personal beliefs.

There's no arguing with Sheldon. 

Just to add to my point, it's not as if I primarily identify as an atheist, and I don't run around IRL looking for religious arguments -- something that I'm sure would be easy to find in Louisiana. Obviously, I like arguing about religion or I wouldn't be here, but there's so much more to life.

And I didn't mean to omit you, lkingpinl. You're another who has made efforts to present yourself as something other than just another Christian to argue with.
