[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How bizarre to think they can speak for all religious people. [/quote]

100% true.

That statement applies to you also, correct?[/quote]

Unlike you, I actually know a lot of religious people. [/quote]

So rather than answer the question, you went right to insults and assumptions?

You may not be aware of this, but you are an unpleasant person.

Now answer the question. That statement applies to you also, right?[/quote]

Excuse me, but you’re insulting me, calling me unpleasant and twisting my post. Where is the insult in my post?

If you hang out with lots of religious people, by all means say so. That doesn’t seem likely, though.

Which brings us back to: you can’t attribute motives to people you don’t know. Whether that’s the “coolness” of saying you’re spiritual or peoples’ motives for attending church. [/quote]

The insult is clear, the non-sequitur insinuation that I don’t know any religious people and don’t know what I am talking about.  Both are very false.

You did that because you did not want to answer the question, and you still haven’t.

BTW, I am NOT the person you were debating the other points with, just someone reading who wanted to point out the irony.[/quote]

It’s absolutely germane to ask whether you know religious people. You’re an atheist who is trying to draw broad conclusions about religious people. Calling this a non-sequitur is baffling and an insult in its own right.

Then, instead of responding directly to the post by saying that you do in fact know religious people, you went straight to calling someone “unpleasant”. Pat yourself on the back?

It would be helpful if you could provide some examples, from the religious people you know, about (a) how they only attend because they want community, and (b) they describe themselves as spiritual instead of religious because they know the word religious is uncool. TIA. [/quote]

Do you even read the posts you respond to?

I repeat: I am not the person making the other claims, just someone who found the post quoted at the top of this one very ironic.

Does that statement apply to you also?[/quote]

1. I know many Jews and Christians and none of them—not a single one—has said to me that they think the word “religious” is uncool or that they’re

2. I call myself religious.

3. Stop with the insults already, the only person you’re making look bad is yourself. I’ll put my reading comprehension up against yours any day.

OK, your turn AND the turn of the mystery atheist who posted her theories but doesn’t want to answer any questions about them. 
A. Why do you think people attend church just for community when they have so many other options, like kids’ schools and sports and their own hobbies?

B. Why do you think religious people think calling themselves that is “uncool.”

C. Have you talked to multiple people (anecdotes are useless) to back up assertions A or B?[/quote]

So odd the way the op never returns to the threads they create to answer questions and read responses…but another very concerned poster always chimes in to defend missing op and call those answering (missing) op’s questions rude!

[/quote]

Yes, it’s definitely hard to understand this pattern, although it’s easy to see it. [/quote]

And so easy to see when someone responds to their own post.[/quote]
