Ziploc wasn't attempting to present documentation or evidence. He asked a question which others then considered. For my part I presented the sources given at the foot of the graphic in a more readily-accessible form. Who is doing anyone's thinking for them here?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Why am I the only one who is expected to continually raise the bar? The OP could have put a little effort into his post, and i would gladly follow suit. As it is my 'effort' reflects his. what is wrong with that?

I think it's the partially-veiled insults that gets people's backs up.

When someone finds a trivial bit of info isn't the logical step to google something now? That's what I did to get the link I posted. Why is it ok to post a baseless accusation and expect people to scramble to prove otherwise?
If one can not be bothered to ask a question outside of a link, then why should an answer come outside of link form?

What insult? The thoughts posted on the question side were not his own were they? Like wise the link I posted wasn't mine. Then how is it wrong to say someone else is doing the thinking here?

You'd be surprised how Google-phobic people can seem to be. I'm guilty of it myself sometimes. I never said it was ok; I passed no judgement on it at all, in fact. For what it's worth I think you make a fair point but obscured it by being snotty while doing it (and no that's not a judgement, merely my opinion).

Hmm, considering that capitalization of proper nouns is a bit out of your grasp, I would be foolish to expect you to "raise the bar," Drivel. Perhaps being a bit less Christian, i.e. pointing out the supposed flaws in others while behaving in precisely the same manner, would be nice, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

'Snotty' seems to be the norm here. I get snotted on, then I snot back. But not too much, so I pick my battles lest I judged to be too snotty. so I have decided to make a stand against 1/2 hearted efforts (which usally result in the same tired arguements that get dragged out as a last resort/try and save face maneuver.) Posting 'links,' I was told when I recently had one deleted, was forbiden. "As this is not a site to post links in." or something to that effect... Unless you are an Atheist appearently.

Oh, here we go again. Some stupid accusation of bias. If I had to bet, I would say atheists get warned here more than theists. Don't let that make you hard; it's only because there are more of us. Anyway, you probably posted a self promoting link, a link to a site with malware or a preachy link. Of course, you'll attribute it to bias, but I will call you out and prove you a liar, if you try, so go ahead and be honest. Put your balls where your mouth is and post the exact PM you got about it.

Fine, Drich. I'll stop trying to show support from now on. I'm tired of getting my fingers bitten. Have fun.

Who said anything about a PM? My link was deleted from my post.
