An End to Arrogant Atheism [View all]	cbayer	Jan 2014	OP
Valid points. I find arrogant Christians to be quite annoying	JNelson6563	Jan 2014	#1
Agree. I find arrogance in general a turn off.	cbayer	Jan 2014	#2
like demonic possession, for example.	Warren Stupidity	Jan 2014	#5
Good point	shenmue	Jan 2014	#6
Disagree 100%	amuse bouche	Jan 2014	#3
This, of course, is not surprising.	cbayer	Jan 2014	#4
Duck Dynasty thanks you and millions of other good ol 'mercans	amuse bouche	Jan 2014	#14
I will accept no thanks from Duck Dynasty and will actively oppose their bigotry,	cbayer	Jan 2014	#17
But who are you to question their religious beliefs, cbayer?	trotsky	Jan 2014	#22
Ahem. Didn't you JUST post this above?	cleanhippie	Jan 2014	#60
Sounds pretty damned intolerant to me	skepticscott	Jan 2014	#61
Ditto!	Brainstormy	Jan 2014	#52
Ignorant of what?	cbayer	Jan 2014	#53
Ask religious people	skepticscott	Jan 2014	#54

I disagree. Critics of religion were all-too-polite for centuries; that allowed delusions to thrive	Brettongarcia	Jan 2014	#7
I don't disagree with you.	cbayer	Jan 2014	#10
Good post. Thanks. nt	ladjf	Jan 2014	#28
Heh...	gcomeau	Jan 2014	#8
Looks good; thanks!	Brettongarcia	Jan 2014	#9
I don't think the author would disagree with you.	cbayer	Jan 2014	#12
Except that your only criterion	skepticscott	Jan 2014	#25
I would agree with this, too.	longship	Jan 2014	#13
Note: he likes Dawkins.	longship	Jan 2014	#11
Actually I think you exemplify a moderated position and that	cbayer	Jan 2014	#16
Well there's one notable person who consistently refuses to listen to a growing list of people...	trotsky	Jan 2014	#18
There is nothing moderate about my atheism, however.	longship	Jan 2014	#19
I realize that, but the way you express yourself and treat others is "moderated", not	cbayer	Jan 2014	#20
ROFL. That I would agree with.	longship	Jan 2014	#21
Context helps, not that it matters when everyone's favorite atheist boogeyman is involved.	trotsky	Jan 2014	#15
It ain't what he says	edhopper	Jan 2014	#23
Sometimes "tone argument" is used to dismiss someone's POV, but	cbayer	Jan 2014	#24
I know JUST what you mean.	edhopper	Jan 2014	#29
Eggsactly.	cbayer	Jan 2014	#30
HEY! NO FAIR!	Brettongarcia	Jan 2014	#31
Its you're prerogrative to type what your thinking.	cbayer	Jan 2014	#32
The religious have been torturing and killing people for milliniums and....	Walk away	Jan 2014	#26
Humans have been torturing and killing each other for millennia.	cbayer	Jan 2014	#27
Well, let's see....	Walk away	Jan 2014	#34
No need. I am perfectly aware of the evils that have been inflicted by some	cbayer	Jan 2014	#35
Putting bandaids on the mortal wounds they cause doesn't impress me...	Walk away	Jan 2014	#39
I don't think there is any objection to you speaking out against atrocities,	cbayer	Jan 2014	#42
Can't wait to hear	skepticscott	Jan 2014	#55
Catholic doctrine has definitely exacerbated HIV transmission, yet it's a multi-factorial picture.	pinto	Jan 2014	#46
In other words	skepticscott	Jan 2014	#56
Your attitude is the same old disgusting refrain. I'm no apologist. I recognize the RCC's role	pinto	Jan 2014	#57
Yes, you claim to recognize the RCC's role	skepticscott	Jan 2014	#58
As expected, you fling poo and call people "despicable"	skepticscott	Jan 2014	#62
I feel I ought to reply one time. I'm not going to hold any discussions with you.	pinto	Jan 2014	#63
No, you'd rather just spew bile and then run away	skepticscott	Jan 2014	#65
Do you have any decency at all? Your posts are beyond despicable.	Starboard Tack	Jan 2014	#66
Yet more ugly and baseless accusations without proof	skepticscott	Jan 2014	#67
I'm done with you. In fact it looks like everyone is done with you	Starboard Tack	Jan 2014	#68
I'm wondering if your message above is an example of the sort of tolerance you are advocating in	Warren Stupidity	Jan 2014	#69
It is indeed. A perfect example.	Starboard Tack	Jan 2014	#70
Got it, so by tolerance you mean insufferable arrogant rudeness. OK.	Warren Stupidity	Jan 2014	#71
No, I mean tolerating others' right to believe what they choose.	Starboard Tack	Jan 2014	#72
Except that you can't show one example	skepticscott	Jan 2014	#73
Don't you just love	skepticscott	Jan 2014	#74
Speaking of "run and hide", how many "religionists" have you put on ignore?	rug	Jan 2014	#64
At the end of the season, which teams go to the bowls? The teams where the players thought	dimbear	Jan 2014	#33
The teams that are 100% convinced they are number 1. But let's look at it another way.	cbayer	Jan 2014	#36
Perhaps we could arrange interviews with the religions which came in second place, the	dimbear	Jan 2014	#37
Second place?	cbayer	Jan 2014	#38
There are many possible comparisons. In America, sports metaphors are the most readily grasped.	dimbear	Jan 2014	#40
How about one where we envision a win-win scenario?	cbayer	Jan 2014	#45
The history of the world is strewn with conflicts, most of which are resolved by complete victory.	dimbear	Jan 2014	#47
What if we have an opportunity to change it.	cbayer	Jan 2014	#48
I'm satisfied to see the board reflect the changes that are coming to the world.	dimbear	Jan 2014	#49
That's fair, except you are such a grumpy, pessimistic bear sometimes.	cbayer	Jan 2014	#50
Would you like to see the religion of Fred Phelps lose, or win?	trotsky	Jan 2014	#43
For all things there is a season	LostOne4Ever	Jan 2014	#41
In terms of making connections with others, I think you are correct.	cbayer	Jan 2014	#44
Even mockery has a place.	dimbear	Jan 2014	#51
