In reply to the discussion: It is clear that I am a theist, and have little patience with the atheists here who despise [View all]Starboard Tack
(11,181 posts)98. WTF are you talking about?
So why do YOU constantly have to try to drag religion into the mix?? That's you doing that...all you...all the time.
And your claim that there are atheists here who despise ALL religion is just another damned lie. Stop it.
It's his OP, in the RELIGION GROUP. He tries once again to bring people together and you unleash your unwarranted, spiteful attack against him because he mentions religion?
What does
"Is the room intended solely for posts which display fawning, unquestioning, uncritical praise and adoration for religion?"have to do with anything? Who said it was. Obviously it is not. Everyone who participates in this group, including the OP, recognizes the negative effects religion has played over the ages and how men have used it for personal power and greed.
You appear to be obsessed with attacking those who do not share your vitriol for people of faith. Well, I have news for you. Most atheists are easy going, live and let live, respectful people, who don't despise others for their beliefs. We may despise some of those beliefs, but not the believers. The man you are attacking is at the forefront of the progressive liberal movement, a life long Democrat and fighter for civil rights, who still, in his ninth decade, probably does more for our common cause than almost any of us. He happens to be a christian. So what?
You need to stop trying to divide us along religious lines and get with the program.

Unfortunately, there have been DUers who have attempted to excuse the Church's behavior.
