I am curious where you have run into these kinds of people. cbayer Oct 2014 #9

Can't say as I've specifically seen that, but I have seen someone here in this folder stand up with AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #28

Yes, that's exactly what he was saying in both cases. cbayer Oct 2014 #40

Not sure where I said you disgust me, specifically, but a break probably for the best, regardless. AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #41

Nothing new has been said about atheism since Athens. rug Oct 2014 #14

Well, I would say 'gaining ground'. Particularly in Europe. AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #17

"Gaining ground" adds nothing to the concept of atheism. rug Oct 2014 #19

What happens to philosophies with no adherents? AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #20

That's not the case. rug Oct 2014 #22

Says you. AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #23

You're talking rhetoric, not substance. rug Oct 2014 #24

hardly. AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #25

Says you. rug Oct 2014 #26

Yes, yes I do. AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #29

It's an 'out' campaign actually. AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #18

Yes. DavidDvorkin Oct 2014 #21

Exactly right!! haikugal Oct 2014 #51

More SILLY nonsense .... Trajan Oct 2014 #27

I've noticed that frequently recurring theme is promoted by a couple of people here. procon Oct 2014 #30

What "confused folks"? rug Oct 2014 #32

Which confused couple of folks who display intolerance towards atheists are you cbayer Oct 2014 #33

Ah... right on cue. procon Oct 2014 #36

Right on cue for what? cbayer Oct 2014 #38

By the way, this reply is actually to yourself, so it's hard to know who exactly cbayer Oct 2014 #39

He didn't 'respond' Trajan Oct 2014 #48

Lol, the critical words of an atheist shot like an arrow into my presumed soul. cbayer Oct 2014 #49

Swift reaction, wasn't it. You might also notice up thread that certain parties are monitoring AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #46

Sorry, I recognize nothing objective in that internal monologue you for some reason must post. rug Oct 2014 #50

Look at your focus now. procon Oct 2014 #52

Quite the contrary, procon Oct 2014 #58

Lol, "angry outburst." In your mind. rug Oct 2014 #60
