Just being assertive would be nice.
Oh and we've had some pretty humble theists. Rayaan, Ryft, Tackatack, Jacob (when he was actually a theist). It's not like we haven't seen a polite person before. There's a difference between being polite and deserving respect and being polite and not deserving respect.
Trust me, I am fully aware you have 0 respect for me and feel as though I generally don't deserve respect.
I am thankful for the people here who don't agree with that.

Sorry you feel that way. I feel like I've clarified my thinking for you quite thoroughly, so I'm not sure what I could have done differently. Do you have any other questions?
I do, if he doesn't...yes, what are your thoughts on my post explaining why a taboo against ridiculing something, like religion or a religious position, is a bad idea? You've clarified your position at length, I responded. I hope we can have that conversation.

Didn't you see? I'm sorry I didn't write IMHO in the first post, my mistake, but I clarified 2 posts later that it was.
Great. You didn't say that at first and it sure didn't sound like it. Probably because 'be kind' *isn't* an opinion.
My apologies. Hopefully I have made it clear to you where I stand, despite my delay in writing IMHO.

Right on, nice way to misrepresent my quote.
Quote:Seriously though it all depends on how you went about it. If you seriously place yourself and your appraisal of what is true above that of your 'friends'
Oh come the fuck on dude. It's not just myself and my appraisal. It's the entire scientific world's appraisal. This was my entire fucking point. The laws of physics do not account for a man returning from the dead, or turning water to wine, or parting seas, or causing plagues. I'd say the same to you as I would to my friends, grow up. Likewise a tooth fairy existing is equally as unlikely. But if you're telling me you'd ignore the fact your "friend" would be stupid enough to believe such tripe, then I'm the one who should be questioning how much you value your "friends".
Quote:it would seem that you haven't even granted them the status of "peer" let alone "friend".
To your limited understanding, yes.
^Lol, see what I'm dealing with, Whateverist??

I'm glad you're thankful. Sadly, those radical minorities base their radical opinions on the same book you worship.
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.'

What? Well thought out, logical posting? Too much for you?
"Hey whateverist! can I suck your dick whateverist? I'm so glad people like me whateverist! Haha top banter whateverist! Check out this guy that dares to challenge my stupid posts even though I'm being so polite whateverist!"
Le sigh.

I feel like I have already explained my position on this at length, and that is why I did not respond.
I don't think it's wrong to challenge someone's beliefs. In fact, I think it's a good thing.
But I do think there is a right and wrong way to go about doing it. That's all I'm saying here.
Making fun of a friend is not the right way to go about it. And neither is constantly being on their butt about it.
Now, that doesn't mean I think making fun of people shouldn't be allowed. It just means I don't think it's a good thing to do. On or off the internet.

Lol, this was a response to a post where all you did was say you don't respect me and think I don't deserve respect. How was I supposed to answer more in depth than that?
