Now it's your turn. Don't tell us about your attitudes. Tell us your deeds.
I read posts from real fanatic fundamentalists, liberal Christians and atheists. Onto my ignore list are two groups, those who posts to create agitation and those who I do not deem to be honest in how they conduct themselves in discussions. I think the request to show what I (we) have done was posted in a feeble attempt to shut me (us) down. OzzyRules is obviously not an honest person in discussions implying that he cannot trust us or that he is too good to have to answer questions directed to him.

Do you see how that looks like you can't produce anything like the doings produced by the bad Guys, so you are going to suggest that they are just lying and use that as a pretext for not having to produce anything of your own.

Somehow I doubt anyone will thank me for allowing members to bring these things to light.
We appreciate it, just as we apreciate the Anglican church in the UK allowing Same -sex marriage when they had a legal get out. Just as we applaud the passing of laws supporting SS in the US. And in Ireland recently, so I heard. Nobody is ignoring the good deeds. But the fact is that religion has fought this and is still fighting it.

Religion is not in the forefront of social liberation - the Bad Guys are. And we appreciate it greatly when the religious and religions get on board sooner rather than later. But it not an excuse fpr anyone to claim that they can take the credit and we secularists and humanists cannot.

This is almost 2019... I just don't get it.
Cousin Lorn, is that you?

I don't know why you would automatically trust people on this forum, just because you agree with them on atheism.

I don't have a reason to trust people who seem to be attacking me for no reason. I don't understand it. So why should I trust them? Maybe some people just like to argue. It's hard for me to take everyone seriously on this forum. I'm not going to share things to people who I suspect may be jokesters or frauds to begin with. I don't need it. Sorry if that upsets you.

The point I was trying to make is that there are as many Bad Guys outside of religion as within it. So I don't see the point in accusing one side when it's not even a religious issue to begin with.

Not if you aren’t going to reciprocate.
