Yeah. Don't do that, man. If you post something on here, that's on YOU. You are responsible for your own posts, not FM.
Did it ever occur to you that some people come here for support in their darkest hour? People do that on Christian forums, too, don't they? There's nothing wrong with that.
And you've had to have frequented Christian forums before, Huggy. There are some real loons out there. Somebody posted some shit from facebook not too long ago where this guy's FB username was "Eradicate all Atheists. Bring back God." Say what you will about depressed atheists, but we don't have anything resembling a fuckjob like that! For every depressed atheist contemplating suicide, I can show ten "upright theists" contemplating homicide.
What about the trolls who create accounts here and spew their insane gospel in all caps? What the fuck is wrong with them? Does Christianity make them do that?
I think the takeaway here is that you can't make sweeping judgements about an entire worldview just because you can demonstrate that some of its adherents have personal problems. That is the essence of the ad hominem fallacy and it proves absolutely nothing.
