I respect a person right to have their own opinion. However I see no reason to respect said opinion if it is not justified with reason and evidence

But I think the really important thing here, Kemtox, is that you found a self-satisfying way to feel superior and just can't hold back from letting everyone know it.
Superior? To tell you the truth, I don't care about being above people. I decided to abandon the ''superiority'' struggle about 3.5 years ago. I came to this forum not to brag about my kindness, but to be one of members and share my arguments for God's nonexistence. But I can't stand it when someone is insulted, and that's why I made this thread - so atheists can see their mistakes and stop being so rude. I didn't name this thread: ''Look at my kindness!''. I want to show you the errors of your ways, how you decrease your efficiency by being rude.

Offence is taken, not given, grow the fuck up
I'm not even convinced you are an atheist. We don't tend to come up with arguments for gods nonexistence. We don't have to, the burden of proof is not on us because we have no claim to defend.

You aren't nearly as mature as you think you are.
If being mature is what you people are saying in this thread, then I don't want to grow up.

Sonny, you do understand that this is an ATHEISM Forum? If not, take a good hard look at the banner on top.
Theists who come here demanding "respect" for believing in sheer lunacy are going to get a very hard time.
There is nothing respectful about the history of most organized religions. In fact, the world would be a far better place without any of the fuckers.

None of us are responsible for other people's generalizations. Some people are fucking stupid enough to think atheists are all the same, don't put that on us.

@ Kemotx,
I believe that you should send me all of your money - respect my belief.
I believe that you need to brush your teeth with acid - respect my belief.
I believe that you should sew your lips to a turkey's ass - respect my beliefs.
I believe that you need a motor oil enema - respect my beliefs.
I believe that you should be stoned in the street - respect my belief.
Now that we've established a few of my beliefs
for you to respect, let's carry them out shall we?
That's the problem with respecting stupid beliefs -
sooner or later those beliefs will have a mob at your
door to hang you. Or they'll just fly planes into your
house. RESPECT MY BELIEFS OR ELSE!
You are a moron, and it is YOU who gives
atheists a bad image - that's my belief - respect it!
