[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP. I’ve often said, DCUM needs to upgrade its atheists. I’ve had great, provocative conversations with really smart atheists and remained friends with them. DCUM’s atheists are a bunch of snarky bullies who make up facts (“99% of atrocities,” “1000-1 loser” right above) apparently at whim and never with any decent cites. [/quote]

The 99% quote was hyperbole.  If it makes you happy substitute "the vast majority" for it.

The 1000-1 loser comment - also hyperbolic but also was proved by the linked article.  The wikipedia article has dozens of sources in it, and is an entirely reliable citation.

People who disagree with you are not bullies.  We are angry about lies.  We beat them back with truths.[/quote]

At this point, we might as well just let your posts hang out in the open for everybody to see your lies and distortions. “Hyperbole,” nice try, lol: there’s no bright line between “hyperbole” and “straight-up lie.” Your “vast majority” is clearly another lie if you read even a single one of the longer posts on the previous page comparing atrocities by atheists vs. believers (you did read those posts, right?). Someone else pointed out that your Wikipedia article includes violence *against* believers.

“Bullying” includes lies, distortions, and mockery. You check all the boxes, as you show so well in this discussion about who commits the most atrocities. You don’t just “disagree,” instead you lie and distort and bring a big helping of nasty aggression. You’re a bully. Own it.
