The Atheist Obsession with Insulting Christians

RE: The Atheist Obsession with Insulting Christians
As far as honesty goes, I take a Chad, a Lek and a GC over a Randy anytime.

Not to mention those christians, who really are out for a serious discussion and not just copy paste apologetic bullshit.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

I know.

I just feel like what is a simple concept for us, doesn't seem to register with them.

So often you need to repeat yourself, provide multiple illustrations, and spoon-feed ideas that should be obvious.

It comes from a lifetime spent with my mother and other devout family members.

My apologies.

No worries. I'm a lazy bastard when it comes to responding to the huge copy/paste drivel that passes for an argument.

I'd rather regrout the tub, or mow the lawn, or do my taxes.

Randy thinks they are all heretics.  500 years ago his cult would have gladly burned them at the stake....and vice versa.

Randy does make a valid point though. Let's not pretend there isn't a bit of a double standard here. Not everyone does this, of course, there are plenty of super nice/sensible people on AF. But it does happen.
"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."

That makes her the only Christian (for the moment) who I respect for not trying and I'll never insult her. Even when I post something offensive on Facebook regarding Christians, I'm sure she knows she's being excluded from the group that my post is addressed to. Because one different person doesn't change the majority.

I appreciate it, Atheist BG. <3
