@Intrepid,
Its funny Intrepid , tha you feel that atheists come and trash every religious thread. Yet herein we have examples of two self proclaimed religious people who have been rude, and disrespectful of those NOT religious. They claim that its the atheists who are "attacking them", yet, the very title of this thread was based upon a discussion of atheism.
If you notice, there are several very specifically religious threads that abound on this board. They all seem to die because why
ATHEISTS USUALLY STAY AWAY BECAUSE THEY HONOR THE PREMISE OF THE THREAD.
Such is not the case whenever an atheism or even "evolution thread is begun. The religious come in and start taking their potshots at the correspondents. This usually leads to some firece encounters and brings out the worst in everyone.
There are several actual trolls who , as set has said, dont really care about any responses and dont care about discourse. They only want their own points heard.
I too, have usually found your responses quite respectful even when we disagree Intrepid. However its been kind of a running gun battle among several disparate yelling sessions(Usually all fomented by a few individuals).
Ive finally put them on ignore and I cansee that they pile up 5 to seven posts in a row, each one disrespectful of a separate correspondent. Yet these individuals claim that it is they who are "being attacked". I hope that you stick around and add your more reasoned opinions to this thread Intrepid. I picture you like Georgeob, reasoned , logical, (even when ead wrong). I cant imagine georgeob getting all violent and PTSD on us. You and he(and several other of the religious folks do discuss and debate points from a nexus of understanding . I think that theres more room for that kind of debate.
