RE: The Atheist Obsession with Insulting Christians

I don't really give a damn what silly beliefs a person holds privately. My beef with religious people is when they step on my toes and try to enact policies based on their fantasies. In the public realm, I see no reason to be "polite" to such people. Fuck 'em. Is that too rude, Randy? Well, fuck you too. No one's begging you to be here.

It's not an obsession. More a hobby when it comes to SOME religionists.

I am currently taking bets on the amount of self-reflection this thread will cause Randy.
No one has yet to bet on anything higher than zero.

(September 17, 2015 at 4:00 pm)Faith No More Wrote: Christians can be one of the most self-righteous and frustrating groups I have ever encountered. I try not to insult Christians as a whole except for the occasional jab at their doctrine, because I understand that the raving evangelical is not the entire picture and that there are many live-and-let-live Christians out there. I don't condone insulting Christians, but at the same time, I do understand it. What you guys are feeling is blowback towards what is often used as a hostile doctrine that seeks to rule other people's lives and force their beliefs on everyone else. If you keep getting insulted, chances are there's something wrong with what you're doing.
You reap what you sow, Randy.
Exactly. Couldn't have said it better. I've put up with negative shit, excuse me, hostile doctrine from xtians for over 40 yrs. Now you want me to play nice? Probably not going to happen.
Quote from the article (underline mine): "Many have opined that the frequently unsavory nature of Internet discourse tends to bring out the loudmouths and jerks of any given group
(including Christians; very much so)." Randy when you pointed one finger at us, how many were pointing back at you?
When the author talks about his conversion it's an "odyssey". When he talks about atheist deconversion it's a “testiphonies”.
This article is just another poke with the negative xtian stick. Gee thanks, that should help.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Everyone here manages to be so much more succinct than me.
