Try stepping outside the bubble for a moment and you might see the problem.
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.'

Stimbo, you're kind of mean sometimes...
"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."

You could just explain to me your point of view on it rather than leave a condescending remark.

It was a suggestion not condescension. I was advocating empathy for a different position, not criticising yours. Meanness is in the eye of the beholder.

My post had questions. By asking those questions, I was open and attempting to see things from another's point of view. Responding with "if you stepped out of your bubble you'd know" is not helpful, kinda cold, and yes, I believe it is condescending. On that I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. I've never been mean or rude to you, and have reached out to you several times when I saw you in pain... yet I feel you're nothing but cold to me and kind of a jerk sometimes. I'll probably regret saying that, but it's the truth so there you have it.
