[quote=RantingAtheist][quote]I see why you chose your user name. You take offensive easily and seem a bit immature. I'll blame it on your being in your late teen's...it's a rough time for many.[/quote]

Not sure why you think I've taken offense. Heck, I haven't even had my first cup of coffee yet, so I'm feeling pretty low-key. As for the user name, that was chosen for me.

[quote]In another thread, you said that atheists have "no dogma" and don't all subscribe to the same set of non-beliefs. So, how can you now speak for them all to say that none take the position that I put forth? Could it not be true that some do and some don't? I participate on other message boards and we have many discussions about religion. I can tell you that there are MANY atheists who call religion/God/Jesus fairy tales/fairies in the sky/Sky-Daddy's, etc. Are you now playing ignorant? [/quote]

I have participated in various threads that have devolved into slug-fests. I would say half of the time, this is percipitated by some non-theist making a joke about some specific piece of dogma, but just as often it's some grudge-bearing "Christian" who sees non-theists as some sort of "enemy". I think to any disinterested observer it's clear that the responsibility for the back-and-forth is mutual.

Of course, non-theists don't proclaim as one of the central tenets of their moral framework the injunction to "turn the other cheek" to be "meek" and to "forgive their enemies". So there's that.
