RE: Why Are Atheists Such 'Trash Mouths'?

You know, I'm all for clean language, if that's one's choice. Myself, I can't get a sentence out that doesn't contain some profanity (Dragon Naturally Speaking won't translate swear words, so while I may be saying them, they're just not getting typed here). However, to come to any forum, you've made an implicit agreement to abide by the decorum of that community, and for someone to come on here, having accepted that, and then complain about the level of that decorum is just absolutely faithless and rude. I'm not going to debate the use of language, I like it flowery, I like it foul, but to come to a group of people, of your own volition, and then, as these people always do, tell them they are bad simply for being different, where the fuck do these fuckers get off? This is the same shit that resulted in millions of dead in Europe for the crime of "thinking differently". Now if you want to go home to your fragile little world and shit about the place with your fellow pigeons, knock yourself out: but do not bring it to my house. You are a guest, and if this is your level of decorum, disrespecting the mores and feelings of your hosts, then get the fuck out and don't come back.

I don't buy this argument.

My two cents: "Fuck, wank, bugger shitting arse head and hole!"
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Depends on how sensitive the person is to what comment.
Everything is subjective. Why even bring it up?
To paraphrase Darwinian, 'I will never understand the human propensity for stating the blatantly obvious, such as "You appear to have fallen in a well."'

Until you get street cred. Then you only have to mostly follow the spirit of the rules most of the time
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Filthy language and unbelievable atmosphere of hate!  Firstly grow the fuck up, were not 5 years old, we are adults and adults will use adult language.
Secondly why don't you listen to it more so you are so hurt when somebody flips at you and really says some not nice things.
Thirdly its atheist deconvert.
Fourthy if you are truly an atheist then learn to live with it as Atheists will get angry with theistic stupidity and then there is no stopping the f-bombs.
Alot hang around here and you might learn why we're angry and is not hate is more frustration then anything else.
