There is more than one poster on the atheist.are.a.pain. concept.[/quote]

Do you not love atheists? [/quote]

[b]NP. What's to love, when so many of them are such a pain[/b]?[/quote]

I feel the same way about adults that believe in storybooks. [/quote]

NP, but see what you just did there? Totally unnecessary and you're offending people who have said nothing negative about you. You are the type of atheist who is cantankerous and irritating as hell to be around. [/quote]

So you can dish the offensiveness, but not take it? Why am I surprised that you're a total hypocrite?[/quote]

As I said, I'm a NP to this particular conversation. I just don't understand why you felt a need to insult folks who don't have a particular issue with you. [/quote]

So this doesn't apply to the person's convo in bold? Why the selective calling out of "insulting folks?"[/quote]

Someone called you a pain. In response, you criticized folks who "believe in storybooks". Do you not see the difference? [/quote]

No, I don't see a difference. Your privilege is showing, PP. [/quote]

Yes, you do, but that's okay. [/quote]

Oh look, the religious person telling me what I believe/think? Gee, how original! Thanks for the perfect reminder why I not only don't believe in children's stories, but that their followers are regularly completely vile. [/quote]

New poster here.  Since you don't know the difference, I'll tell you (and I don't have a dog in the fight).  One is saying you're a pain, but not attacking your value or belief system.  The other is making fun of a whole group's belief system.  See the difference?[/quote]

I'm a NP, but also non-religious. Let me try and explain something to you - calling a group of people a pain because of their belief (or lack of belief) system, is pretty damn offensive - especially given the obvious dominance of religious groups in this country, and giving their clear upper hand. Don't try and say that's not what the PP was saying, particularly given the context of the response. [/quote]
