13. I laughed aloud when I read your "talking to a sieve"!

What I've observed is that they "use" our forum as a kind of "woo mine" to find all those "crazy" things they disagree with or see as fit for attack.

The other interesting observation I've made that those (very few) atheists on this board that I find to be the most respectable are the least likely ones to attack others for their beliefs. All too often, they are also on the receiving end of attacks by their "fellow" atheists for their points of view. Two of those respectable atheists post here, so I'm sure you all know who they are without me calling them out
