I think the anonymity of the forum allows people to be a lot more rude than they would be in a face-to-face debate. You can get away with insulting others if you're sure that you won't get your lights punched out for it.
I've always figured that if you have to resort to name-calling and bullyragging, you didn't have much of an argument in the first place.

I definitely have extra condemnation for a guy or woman calling themselves "Christian" yet not believing the Bible than one that admits they have not got self assurance the Bible or have self assurance in God. the 1st ones are pretense of Christian and the 2d is being honest. Being honest is of super value to me while i'm speaking with a guy or woman approximately any concern. i don't argue approximately somebody's ideals, yet I do deliver out what the Bible says approximately such issues as arise. the particular organisation makes no distinction in the event that they prepare the flaws taught interior the Bible.

I think it's partly that everyone is just rehashing the old arguments, and they don't have anything more substantive to add. So as wolfblayde says, they resort to...less savory tactics to get their point across. Back when YA was still in Beta, it wasn't so bad. I think it was because the people who showed up had really just begun discussing religion in depth, more curious than anything. Familiarity breeds contempt, maybe.

Probably because it's an impersonal medium and you get carried away with emotions. We would all be nicer in person - at least for a while.

Maybe we haven't evolved enough yet.
