(135,425 posts)I really don't "get" why you refuse to hear what I am saying--maybe it's that desire for fighting that is so rich in this group? Or maybe you just don't want to do any of that pesky reading.
I think there should be a place for these cage matches. You keep thinking I want the Atheists to BEGONE, but that is not what I am saying. You would see this if you would open your eyes and see what I''ve had to say throughout this thread. The Atheists should be permitted to have their fun mocking the religious, and vice versa. That is a long held DU tradition. I am not arguing against that at all, so your long list of huffy, expecting-a-big-kerfluffle questions is pointless.
I just don't think the name of the forum is appropriately descriptive. You see, since Atheists--with their religion in opposition to Theists--keep insisting that their religion is NOT a religion, the forum should not be called RELIGION if the atheists are going to amuse themselves here. See, RELIGION is for the religious, and you can't have it both ways.
Perhaps the group would be more accurately named Agnostics, Atheists, and Theists (nice alphabetical order, there). Everybody into the pool!
An ecumenical group for the theists and other religious people who might worship rocks or trees or whatever, not led by Christians, maybe just called "Religion" similar to the "Atheists and Agnostics" safe-haven group, where no religious people are allowed, would also be a nice addition.
I didn't call you childish names, like you did me, and I won't start now or stoop to your level. Your pissy little "intellectually bankrupt and dishonest" remark is simply untrue. It also tells me much about you, how you approach discussion, and what sort of rather aggressive attitude you possess. I'm less than impressed, but I'm also quite sure you don't care either way.
