102. Someone's a bit sensitive.

It's a discussion board.

So discuss.

People are not always going to agree with you--no need to get so personally enraged and use words directed at a person like "pathetic" and "you have nothing to say" and "you fall back on infantile mockery" and "your thoughtless way of thinking" and "really contemptible" and "damnable" and "hateful to the core."

I mean, wow--that takes "snippy" to a whole new level! You don't like anyone finding YOUR words absurd with a fast laugh and a smilie, but you sure like to serve up a heaping helping of scorn yourself!

How about a simple "I don't agree with you?" You could even throw in one of these guys if you'd like, to express your degree of disagreement or or even or -- but really, all that VERY personal invective (calling someone contemptible and hateful because they don't see an issue YOUR way?) says way, WAY more about you than perhaps you intended to reveal. You don't come off well, just in case I'm not being clear, here. It's not your perspective on the religious v. atheist issue that is the problem, it's the nasty way you express yourself.

Don't even give me the "Waah, he teased me FIRST" excuse. As my grandmother used to say, "If (insert name of neighborhood kid-leader) jumped off a bridge, would you do it, too?"

The view is grand from the high ground.

Replies like yours, with all the anger and invective, are why we have a RELIGION forum, to contain all that "stuff" that explodes like a Mentos in Coke anytime The Big Gee/Lack of Same is discussed!
