Many people, and in fact,
A lot of people,
Are saying you're ingrates.
They're saying you're ingrates.

As in not-so great. Not-so-great.
They're saying you're not-so great.

So we'll have to see what happens,
We'll have to see what happens.

You. The endlessly perseverative conservative Christian with the faux persecution complex who never, ever shuts up about the supposed “pair of atheists,” and who refuses to move on to a site where they actually have a forum specifically for Christians to discuss among themselves, because then you’d lose your opportunity to play the victim.

-not an atheist, Episcopalian

Newsflash: I’m Episcopalian too, and this is the very first time I’ve pointed out the pair of atheist haters. Although there’s someone else who does that and they may be conservative, but I don’t know that.

Tell me you’re OK with this pair that derails so many threads with, let’s call it what it is, bigotry, and who start so many hateful threads?

Why do you think it's a "pair" of posters?

Why aren't you making the same comments about the atheist-hater threads/comments?

Because I’m tired of going to the religion forum and seeing a thread like “Don’t Catholic girls’ communion dresses creep you out?” The moderator cleaned that one up a bit but it’s still there near the top. So obviously I think that other poster might must have a point.

A question for you: Why do you think the near-daily abuse of religion and Catholics is OK?

(And again, I’m not Catholic)

So you are OK with the Atheist-hater threads. Maybe you are the one who starts them?

No I don’t start them.

But this is basic chicken-and-egg stuff.

There would be no threads complaining about atheist behavior (totally different from your reframing about hating atheists, btw) if a few atheists weren’t behaving in hateful, bigoted ways. Duh.

Likewise. Stop creating hateful, bigoted anti-atheist threads and I’ll stop posting.

Can you point to a recent thread that hates on atheists? No, you can’t.

But we can all find plenty of threads that complain about atheist behavior in the Religion forum. Bigoted behavior by a small number of atheists (like “Catholicism is barbaric” on the previous page unless the moderator has already deleted it) elicits a response.

You seem to be arguing that you should be able to insult people of faith with impunity, and that believers shouldn’t be allowed to respond. That’s not how it works.

Or, you’re a troll and you’re loving the attention.

Bottom line: don’t start fights and then whine when people respond.

There are hostile comments everyday. GMAFB.

I don't start fights, I end them. If you don't want me commenting on threads, then behave yourself.

So you deny being the problem, fine.

But that doesn't mean there aren't two atheists who routinely start fights about "Catholicism is primitive barbarism" and "Catholic communion dresses are freaky."

Point being, criticizing this *behavior* doesn't mean others are (a) starting the fight, or (b) hating on atheists in general. Get a grip.

Ok. Go ahead and ignore the daily, hostile comments. And also threads.

Any others?

The bolded drives me crazy. So annoying.

They always misspell words in British uni terminology (like “Michaelmas”) and get corrected but they continue to

It is spelled Michaelmas. It’s the fall term at a number of British universities

I know. The poster pp is referring to usually spells it wrong.

and you remember that years later? You REALLY need to get a life. Start with your envy problem.

How do YOU know it's years later?

I actually took the time to google it because I have a child interested in applying to Oxford. There is only one mention (“not many”) of a an excited parent of an MPhil student at at Oxford where the parent uses the wrong spelling for Michealmas. Here only in DCUM. Just one entry and you were called out subsequently by multiple parents in that thread for being an “a**” and other insulting terms. Happy to provide the link

Fascinating. You seem very invested.

If it was later said in a contentious thread it may have been deleted.

Ok. Keep pretending the hostility is directed against atheism—when in fact it’s directed against the behavior of the two bigots/trolls. Also, you were invited to link to even one of these “daily” threads attacking atheism itself, but you haven’t done so, hmmm.

And keep denying the order of events, by pretending that anybody who responds to your bigotry/trolling is the real problem.

I said the hostile comments were daily, not the threads. And they aren’t criticizing behavior.

Well, congrats (?) then, because you have a DCUM twin who’s a conservative Catholic and drones on ENDLESSLY (including in multiple threads on Website Feedback) about the Evil Pair of Atheists Who Should Be Banned From The Religion Forum For Persecuting The Poor, Poor Christians.

BS. You need to learn about cause and effect. Don't insult people (the said "persecution") and nobody will complain about you.

Are you 4? You're completely unable to take responsibility for starting fights and then acting like a four-year-old saying "she did it!"
