Are you just having fun provoking others or are you just angry?

Question

It seems some are just having fun being the 'devil's advocate' and others are just plain hostile. I should say, it is much better to have such murderous thoughts and opinions here than on a real person.

Answer 1

I love playing devils' advocate. But only with those who go to the extreme. I'm rarely ever angry with people in here. This is more of a game than anything else.

Answer 2

I do enjoy being Devil's advocate, and I try not to offend people, but I also have a rather offensive sense of humor when it comes to religion, so I get myself in trouble some times. But yes, you're right: it's better to be an unpleasant / argumentitive heretic here than in fron of a real person.

Answer 3

Having fun

Answer 4

Its a little bit of both, in general, i am a pretty angry person.

BUT im good natured andi love just getting a rise out of people

Answer 5

Passionate hatred can bring meaning and purpose to an empty life

Answer 6

I feel like watching provocating kids, in this "religion & spirituality"-section...

I wonder what are the real motivations of anti-theists... Trying to convert others to their way of thinking, I suppose... They aren't better than religious & spiritual fundies then.

Answer 7

I enjoy provoking people who deserve it. For those who behave civaly, I tend to reciprocate.

Answer 8

For the sake of younger children, I disagree. But your opinion was an interesting read, thanks for asking.

Answer 9

i like that. my life is pretty empty. that's why i'm sitting here answering questions.
