No hypocrisy, but bias - yours.

You sure you do not become tired of stalking on me? It surely has become a habit of yours recently.

Oh, see now here we go. You go around this forum attacking all kinds of people personally simply because they have a belief. A harmless belief. A belief that they are in no way attempting to sell to you. You call them ignorant, foolish, dangerous, witless, etc. I call you out on it and suddenly I am stalking you. Hypocricy and butthurt: A winning combination.

Your radio's still too loud. Turn it down.

I simply can't believe there are two votes in favour of the second poll option

Since there are only two I shall take a stand for the minority opinion and add a vote

Well the fictional war on christmas getting a mention was as big an invite as a full page Daily Mail headline on immigrants
There hasn't been a war on christmas since the puritans went a little power crazy before buggering off to the colonies.

Who was talking about that? I am saying that there is a clear and unwarranted hostility by our resident atheists towards our resident believers on SubSim. Even I have been targeted for defending my belief, despite the fact that I do not believe that my personal religious views should be legislated and forced upon others. It seems that, for some, the very existence of those who have different beliefs is offensive.

I actually don't care for either side but from my seat I usually see the Christian's are the ones that can't live and let live. Oh sure they can after they get a few more laws passed that demand Atheists behave as Christians in public, and private. I only see Atheists demanding changes to take overt Christian symbolism and such out of the common governance.

Being an Atheist does not mean one is amoral. Our basic laws are formed from Old Testament teachings and these are more than simply Christian values so it becomes a gray area about drawing lines in the sand.

I believe he was referencing Haplo's post.

I have yet to see a single Christian do so on this forum. What I do see are lots of atheist with lots of angry words for members that believe. Personally, I grow very weary of being called an ignoramus by such people. Maybe if we can talk about the idea without attempting to destroy the person (like we're supposed to behave on SubSim) it would be a good thing for everyone.

You're probably right.

If I wanted to have more fun with that I would add that perhaps the atheists can't protest about the mosques as there are too many "christians" forming a crowd to protest so they can't get through.

Unfortunately and to put a sidespin on the topic it is often religious people clashing with other religious people just as it always has been since before that bloke got nailed to a bit of wood for saying "be nice".
