But so long as he does it on threads he starts, I have no problem knowing what I am getting myself in for and making an informed decision.
I guess if he didn't make a thread insinuating that we have an obsession with insulting people based soley on their disagreeing with us on religion most of us wouldn't care to complain. I've interacted with Randy a couple of times, deduced that he is an ass, and decided to just ignore his threads. But when he makes this thread saying that atheists are obsessed with insulting Christians, then he deserves to have it pointed out that people insult him because he's an ass not because he's a Christian.
Like I said in an earlier post, he does have a point though. I've had a lot of nasty things said to me here when it wasn't warranted. It seems everyone is responding to this thread by saying "oh we're nice to theists if they're nice to us." And yeah, a lot of people here are like that. But there are definitely those who are not. This fact should at least be acknowledged.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
