86. Why Do You Use "Hate Language"?? Why Must Your Ridicule Atheists?
Don't you realize how offensive it is to use "charged" words and phrases like "what we KNOW"??

By saying things like that, you're suggesting that people who are atheists DON'T KNOW something. You're suggesting that we're dumb or willfully ignorant.

That's a put down. Why do you hate us? Why are you trying to DIVIDE the party? With our country so evenly split, the Democrats cannot afford to alienate atheists or non-Christians.

Why can't you use words and phrases like "what we think we know" or "what we believe even though we have no proof".
