Tis the Season of Bull Shit

[Vincenzo Vinny G.]

[My statement about hating Christians was sarcastic mockery of the small-minded intolerance in the atheist community, an intolerance I am fighting to overturn for the benefit of of the community. Atheism becomes stronger when we are willing to relate to all faiths and positions.

How many people here claim to hate Christians as a general rule? I don't know of any. We may hate the beliefs, and may be irked by fundies and those who ignore logic, but I don't know of anyone here who would say "I hate Christians" (except you, apparently.)

I don't know man.

One thing that bothers me is that 95% of Muslims don't feel hateful towards others. 95% of Hindus, Christians, Jews are pretty damn cool. I could invite em over for thanksgiving and they would be cool with it.

In fact my neighbors on either side is a Hindu, and another Muslim. Coolest folks I've seen.

But atheist anger and intolerance is like 95% of the population.

I've seen three or four Christians pop up on these boards. Maybe a Muslim, I don't remember. They get absolutely eviscerated. It's so endemic you would think atheists actually think God exists to be a target of their hate.

But maybe, just maybe...that's what the internet does? That the internet just makes normal, sane atheist turn into rabid maniacs?

You tell me.

Who said you were a sane atheist ?

Bro, those 30 years are having an effect on you.

Vinny? Meet reality. Reality? Meet Vinny. I'll just leave the two of you alone. I'm sure you've got a lot of catching up to do.

You finally did it. You broke character to reveal the motivation for the role you play on line. That wasn't so hard was it? Now -if you can keep it up- I can care about you as a person. I never thought you were dull but your dedication to portraying atheists as you've experienced them has rendered everything you say disingenuous.

So are you really an atheist? I would have thought yes but that you disapprove of how many (all?) atheists come off on line, especially in response to theists.

Now that you've been here a while do you still have the same negative stereotype? Hopefully you don't attribute the flack you've gotten for being disingenuous to the hater-nature of all on-line atheists.

Yours sincerely in using fewer question marks from now on,

Vinny G.

Hey asshat, you haven't explained anything. Answer the fucking questions. ????? expresses perplexity/confusion on a forum where voice inflection cannot be heard -- you know, the same way #@%! can express exasperation. It's not meant to be grammatically correct. So answer the fucking questions you pretentious little shit stain.

Explain what you meant by your neighborhood and the sesame street remark. What the fuck are you talking about?

Your rationality is inversely proportional to your use of gratuitous question marks.

This is pseudo-intellectual drivel. Trying to deflect from the fact that you have answered none of my questions and have nothing to fall back on regarding your hatred remark, except, "um, I was just being sarcastic." Fucking pathetic.

Accusing everyone here of a "crime" that only you have committed. You lying dirty little piece of garbage.

[Cinjin]

really?

You're posting me a two-pixel picture of a cartoon dog with sunglasses that says, "Deal with it?" You've got to be fucking kidding me right?
Did you get that pic off your girlfriend's MySpace page? Pathetic little fucktard.
