True, but it's the easy way out -- sort of like a gay guy saying he's not the marrying kind (in the old days -- now people bring up their same sex spouse like it's no big deal.)

And it [b]does nothing to help change the perception of atheists as nasty, bad people. [/quote][/b]

You know what would help with that? If hundreds of DCUM readers didn't click into the Religion forum every day to see atheists trashing faith and showing bigotry towards certain faiths. I mean, if you want to change the perception of atheists. [/quote]

Such irony.

“We wouldn’t hate the atheists so much if they would just keep it to themselves and not state their beliefs “[/quote]

This kind of bad faith comment is exactly why I cringe at people who announce themselves to be atheists. I assume it’s about to be contentious. And I’m usually right.

In contrast, DH comes from a Muslim family and I never have any sort of unpleasantness with them, even though I’m not Muslim. [/quote]

You just keep proving the point, post after post.

PP says we hate atheists because they post what they think.  End period.  Nothing in bad faith about it.  That's what it is.[/quote]

DP. You’re demonstrating the very problem. Nobody said people dislike atheists because you “post what you think.” You’re simply lying here. The post you quote says people dislike atheists because they *trash* faith and certain types of faith, and you see it here on a daily basis. [/quote]

Is saying belief in your god and belief Odin is a god is the same thing "trashing" your faith?[/quote]

Nobody ever answers questions like this, they just throw out their accusations, when the truth is ANY reasonable discourse about evidence for the supernatural and comparisons to other supernatural beliefs is met with outrage.  You can't bear to have your beliefs questioned, I guess, even in an open discussion forum.[/quote]
