(2,270 posts)mention of one of the reasons for some of the bias the general public has for atheists so you then do the exact thing you say you won't do. You distort what I say and then cry foul. That is something I find quite dishonest and beneath someone who made the previous claims you did as to how you interact here. I gave you the opportunity to show that I was was mistaken about the intent of your post earlier but I guess I was right all along. You know that I never denied any bias against atheism in this society and yet you state that I did. I did not move any goal posts so there again you distort . You know I never said atheists are anti religious bigots in the majority. This is what I said and I stand behind it. Until the most visible and vocal proponents of atheism are allowed to use anti religious bigotry as the standard of atheism the perception of atheists will always be negative in society at large just as the intolerant religious bigots who are the most vocal and visible in the religious community and have set themselves up as the standard for religion color the perception of believers and present us in the worst possible light to society. The constant call from atheists is for believers to clean their own house, I challenge you to do the same.
