And I have had people tell me that just because I believe in God that i'm some kind of loony tunes and all sorts of other rude and insulting things. Is that any different than your experience?
I ask because I can manage to have these discussions without resorting to such invective. It seems some of your Atheist colleagues just can't do that.
