[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The atheists who post here are usually far more close minded and tedious than the atheists I know in real life. They engage in patronizing, gross oversimplifications and reductive thinking that actually puts me off atheism. I remain open to agnosticism since we can’t prove metaphysical beliefs one way or the other. [/quote]

You've expressed your opinion, and now I'll express mine:  I don't care if your characterization of anything anyone says here "puts you off atheism".  I hope no one is religious or non-religious because they were "put off" by someone.  I think being put off by someone is a terrible reason for believing or not believing.

We know a tree by the fruits it bears.

I pay a lot of attention to character.  Not a religious literalist and don’t resonate with dogmatism in either religion or atheism. [/quote]

There's no dogmatism in atheism because there's no dogma.  It's simply lack of belief in theism (any religion).[/quote].

Many of the atheists who post here are extremely dogmatic, patronizing and unnecessarily antagonistic. [/quote]

If you are a religious person who is sure you are right, despite total lack of evidence and lots of faith, then simply ignore anyone who doesn't see things your way.

I have good friends and family members IRL who are atheists. We have wonderful relationships based on mutual respect.

Many atheists who post in this forum are extremely patronizing and disrespectful with a disdain for nuance. [/quote]

Like you, IOW[/quote]
