Are from confirmed atheists who haven't dropped their nuts yet or bought a box of tampons. The older maturer atheists, who has experienced life are more creditable to me, you can take stock in their Q&As, but the teeny boppers are another thing entirely. Yet some people take them as being oh so wise and knowledgeable.
Just an Y!A observation that's all

"creditable" should be "credible"

Edit:
So do you think that a mature atheists will post any of the dumb questions that young atheists post? I don't think so. Yet I noticed that some will answer in agreement to them.

Oh my have I made a few grammatical errors? Most likely I have. So what of it? I can point out tons of grammatical errors from atheists. Grammatical errors that are ignored by their fellow atheists.
Still quite a few of the atheists posting here are from teens or preteens. Not too many of them are older.
By the way, thanks for the corrections. They are have been noted. Thumbs up.

Edit:
There are probably a few teeny religious people here too. Perhaps the older people debate in different way?

No. It does not bother me at all if some younglings' questions or remarks sound naive.
First, it is subjective when one says a statement as wise or knowledgeable. Second, it is part of their growing up (we've been there ;-)). Third, it is better to let them speak and hear feedback so they can learn rather than suppress them and they end up with psychological issues.

Some young folks can be very mature and very credible. In fact, a few of them are actually very wise and amazingly knowledgeable..
Then again, some older folks act very immature, and have lost what little credibility they may have started with by being rude, crude, and not too shrewd in their questions and answers in forums like this one.
This observation is not limited to atheists only.
Wisdom and maturity are not necessarily things that come automatically with age, I'm afraid...

Weren't you young once? Should we not support those whom we are in agreement with regardless of age? Or is age the determining factor of credibility and wisdom in your opinion? Are the old the only ones deserving of praise? Not in my opinion.
Honestly, I don't stop to ask age before answering questions or agreeing with answers. I thought that was only something "teeny boppers" did. You know: a/s/l plz? Not my thing.

I would say that that applies across the board and not just to a given "faction".
Edit:
I'm actually surprised at the number of alleged adults that resort to various rude tactics and that seem to be fairly ignorant. (this is a general observation and not directed to any given belief system or lack thereof)

Yes, I've noticed that, too. I think it's that way with all the religions of people who post here.

Wha?
"maturer"
-more mature
"atheists, who has "
-atheists, who have
And that's a rant, not a question...
Also, age does not necessarily denote wisdom ;)
EDIT
------
dd, the problem with the mature is that "older", you can't really have oldER maturER... kinda like atheistS who haS... no good :)

No.
I have 'problems' with some of the assertions by 'Christians' on here; even though I consider myself Christian currently.

I assume from your spelling and grammar that you are among those not yet "maturer"
