I mean really.
For a group that seems "enlightened", and has all this evidence to validate there opinions, they consistently act like a bunch of insensitive junior high age a s s holes. They mock, discredit, and put down other peoples beliefs. They seem as cold hearted, as they are close minded.
The majority of atheists in this forum give the term "atheist" a bad name. If all I knew about the personality of those who are atheists, was based solely on the things they say in this forum, I would think "What a bunch of pricks!!"
I'm beginning to believe that the term "mean-spirited" is pretty much synonymous with atheists. I use to have a better opinion of them, as people who were level headed, considerate, and mature. Apparently, I was sorely mistaken.

Batgirl...are you not keeping score here??
For every positive, constructive comment I see by an atheist on this site, I read nine others that are very inflamatory!! Your biased. Go get screwed by Batman...wait...he's off with catwoman rightnow. Maybe Robin "The Boy Wonder" is available.

Apparently you are mistaken about a number of things.
I'm not an Atheist. I am Pagan.
Expand or fuel your fire of hate? You are proof that ignorance is bliss. I feel sorry for you.

Oh dear Michael. I honestly think that once you have put your toys back in your pram, you should take a deep breath, sit down, switch the tv off, you can catch up with big bird later. Have a good read of the last 100 posted questions on this site and work out which group of people has the most narrow minded, misinformed, self righteous, bigoted, and racist believers. This is of course a small minority of those people. You should try to respect and learn from all sections of society no matter their creed, culture or beliefs. Then only then, you can have your cocoa and cookies.

I posed a question to atheists early Saturday evening, and 99.9% of the responses were kind and informative. I later posed another question and 100% of the responses were just as kind.
The majority of "real" atheists are indeed enlightened and kind, good, moral people. It is the teenagers pretending to be atheists who are as you say. They act as they do to have fun.
The atheists here have encouraged me to learn more about my faith. They are very level-headed, considerate, and mature.
I can understand their frustration with some Christians. If someone continually told me I was wrong and was going to burn in hell because I did not believe the same thing they did, I would get to a point where I lost it, just as some of them have.
I think you might have asked why the pre-teens and young teens who come to this board to play jokes act like jerks.
You are making a sweeping generalizaion here.
Not cool.

some people on this forum act like jerks. some of them are atheists, some of them aren't. isn't it possible that it's more to do with the nature of the medium? for some reason there's a bit of a battleground mentality here. i think you're a bit blind if you can't see that it cuts both ways, yep that's my insult quota for this post.

Don't make generalization
I know some nice atheists in R&S, and they are nice and decent

Any time I see a statement that contains the word 'all' i have great doubts about it.

It's probably because you view their answers with bias.All you see is "mean spiritedness" and the answers of "jerks".
A vast majority of the atheists on this site give their honest opinions,just because you don't agree with them doesn't make them jerks.
