Atheists & Agnostics

(11,181 posts)I said I hadn't read many of Rug's posts and hadn't seen anything offensive to atheists. So I asked for links to such posts. So far, I haven't seen any.
Now you question my purpose. Let me tell you what my purpose is, so you won't have to wonder. My purpose is to have intelligent, fruitful conversations with all who want the same, regardless of their religious or spiritual beliefs, and to encourage other members of this group to do the same. If you think that is bullshit then we are not on the same page. There are members here who appear to want nothing more than to personally attack, mock and ridicule anyone who doesn't share their anger and bitterness toward people of faith. I find that behavior counter productive to the goal of atheists, in general, which is to get government to quit marginalizing us for our lack of belief and imposing religious BS on our educational system. I do not share Rug's beliefs but I respect his right to hold them. If mockery and derision is your style, so be it. But IMO, it does nothing to further our common cause.
BTW, I have no idea what you are trying to imply with your last paragraph, unless you think that Rug and I are one and the same. Care to explain?
