[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"There IS no God" IS a personal attack on believers, end of story.[/quote]

Sorry, you can't simplify like this. "There is no God" is fine. What's insulting is all the condescending/insulting/ridiculous snark you guys pile into your posts, to go along with that statement.[/quote]

That's also relative -- what's seems insulting to one person might seem like a simple fact to another.  Also, religious people often insult non-believers without realizing it -- or thinking it's ok -- for instance to tell a child that  they're going to hell, because they don't believe in a certain religion. It's not seen as cruel -- it's seen as helpful to get the kid on a path to god.

or to tell an atheist that they might as well kill themselves right now if they don't believe in god.  What a non-sequiter.  We know this is the only life we have, so we want to live it as long and as well as we can.  Plus, I don't see any believers putting their lives on the line for "worthy causes."  People tend to want to stay alive, regardless of their beliefs.[/quote]

We agree that lots of statements are subjective. And religious people often act badly. No disagreement there.

But there are absolutely atheist bullies on DCUM - you simply can't argue this is untrue. These atheist bullies are deliberately offensive. If I can cop to the religious bullies here, you need to cop to the atheist bullies.[/quote]
