Actually I'm not represented by any group. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #7

No, I mean like this: rug Oct 2012 #19
That's not a belief, it's an opinion. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #20
Excuse me. You have some weird opinions. rug Oct 2012 #21
That's your opinion. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #22
No, it's an observation. rug Oct 2012 #23
Make up your mind. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #24
Pay attention. You called my observation an opinion. rug Oct 2012 #25
Right, my bad. My opinions are observations too. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #26
Yes, I can see how lucid and clear-eyed they are. rug Oct 2012 #28
They're almost as impressive as your spelling skills. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #30
They are far better than my typing skills. rug Oct 2012 #32
Okay, right. Your opinions are observations and mine are not. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #43
I"d say that's essentially correct. rug Oct 2012 #46
Just can't bear to look in the mirror, eh? beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #49
Who's talking about Catholics. rug Oct 2012 #52
I was. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #60
Well, good for you. Now show me where in the article that's a topic. rug Oct 2012 #62
Blatant hypocrisy is a valid topic. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #65
That's why there's that little button up there, "Post a thread in this forum". rug Oct 2012 #72
I prefer to talk about the hypocrisy of the moral majority. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #77
I'm sure you do. rug Oct 2012 #79
Sorry, you can't stereotype people whose only common trait is non-belief in superstition. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #83

So tell me. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #35
See below. rug Oct 2012 #38
Your support of marriage equality (or lack of it) affects people I know and love. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #41
It is but it's entirely extraneous to this thread. rug Oct 2012 #47
Disagree. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #48
It's impossible if your goal is to change the topic from sexism among skeptics to stereotypes and rug Oct 2012 #53
The phrase "sexism among skeptics" is an attempt to stereotype non-believers. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #58
Lol, that's the subject of the article. rug Oct 2012 #61
And what a picture-perfect example of sowing discord in this forum it is. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #66
Really? Posting an article from a woman atheist describing the sexism she encountered? rug Oct 2012 #68
Perhaps you can find an article describing sexism among non-freckled people. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #70
Yes, non-freckled people are precisely analogous to skeptics and atheists. rug Oct 2012 #74
I resemble that remark. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #80

Again, you brought up the subject skepticscott Oct 2012 #57
Again, bullshit. rug Oct 2012 #64
Ah, so repeating the empty label of "bullshit" skepticscott Oct 2012 #76
I would provide you with facts and logic but I fear the effort would be wasted. rug Oct 2012 #82
Since you're down to that dodge, yet again skepticscott Oct 2012 #84
How much worse can it get? beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #67
