You do realize that beliefs lead to actions, right? Right??
No, because that's a violation of my free will. But your thoughts are nonmaterial.

Personally, I try to be consistent in defending people's right to hold their own beliefs. However, when they choose to come to a forum such as this and present their beliefs, especially when they present them as fact, then they have to expect them to be exposed to criticism and be prepared to defend them. Don't like it? You know where the door is.
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.'

Absolutely. A fair number of the people here, atheist and otherwise, wouldn't last too long at the old EvilBible forum.

Doesn't this beg the question, if someone is 'incapable of hatred', then they are not 'truly forgiving' because they are, by definition, pre-disposed to being nice all the time, even if you stole their hammer...

I believe that only by being incapable of hatred you can be all forgiving.

And you have certainly demonstrated that kindness here- what an excellent way to model the behavior you wish to see.
It's just an internet forum, kid. Shake it off and move on. It's only a big deal if you make it one.

Why would anyone want to be all forgiving?

You assume everyone has a car? I'm barely 19, too young for a car. At least in my country, Poland.
