Ganging up on someone and calling them nasty names is never warranted, imho. A few of these posts are just getting to the point of being character assassination. This is a real person here, with a wife and kids, and other loved ones. Let's not forget that.
Uhhh... Randy started the thread we're currently in called "The Atheist Obsession With Insulting Christians".
How can you net see that, a. it's flamebait, and b. it's calling atheists nasty?
What could you possibly expect would happen in this scenario? And what does his personal life have to do with anything? every one of us has a personal life.
How can you not see that the article in the OP is a. confirmation of what I've been saying and that b. the problem is you atheists and not me.
Do you honestly believe that if you joined CAF or any number of Christian forums for the sole purpose of discussing the arguments for and against the existence of God, you would be subjected to the kind of vulgarity and disrespect that is routinely spewed at theists here? At CAF, I'd be banned in a heartbeat if I posted anything like the stuff that Minimalist and others say DAILY here. And it's not because he makes such strong arguments, either. I wish he would, but he seems to have gotten off the train of reason long ago.
Look, I'm not saying that you haven't received rude comments from people who ought to have behaved better in the past - either here or IRL - but the fact that you moderators not only allow this childish behavior but participate in it says all we really need to know about AF, doesn't it?
It's NOT a discussion forum. It's a place to mock religion, and that's what you want it to be.
