I get that he's brought it on himself, but seeing all these negative comments constantly being made towards a person is becoming painful to watch. We don't know what is going on in his home life or what hardships he might be dealing with.
It may be a good idea to think about toning it down some and just letting it go, or using more neutral language.
Just MHO.
YHO is grossly impolite, presumptuous and offending. Don't belittle me. I don't need christians being condencendingly supportive of me. I can hold my own against fellow brethren of mine.
This is ridiculous - the extent to which you're willing to paint everything with your own brush.
Um....Thanks for proving my point I guess?

Ok, now yall may carry on with the actual OP. I promise!
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Actually, I'm here because I don't have any meaningful relationships IRL and don't know a single other atheist. I'm not likeable, at all. It's easier to hide online.

I think a bosnian spy job is to be not liked. Bad strategy for a spy.

Yeah, don't suck up to the Bosnian spy. It's part of the plan that he'll deny in a fit of self-loathing that is . . . part of the plan.
