militant atheist think they are special. Smarter than anybody in regards to spreading what statement of belief about god is right, true, and pure.

And you will spread that word. no matter how many people suffer to do it. Just like some fundamental theist.
Oh dear!
...and moving on.

As i found with Eusebius, it is as unrewarding to get into endless exchange of snark as those interminable box -kicking exchanges we sometimes get in Rugby.

this cite is wonderful in shedding light on what we are up against.

we are fed up with some Christians. Many Christians are fed up with some Christians.

the fundamental theist is a major problem to us. When we list the personality traits (the traits given to people that study people) of the fundamentalist it seems to be consistent with people with border line personality disorders. I think may of us agree to that.

I also think we all can agree that most of us have glitch in some area of our lives. Now, I take that one step further. Because, quite frankly, who do we believe? who is more reliable? what is the best way to un-pack this? Is god belief vs no god belief the best way to unpack this?

If we list those traits (as defined by people that study people) do we have boarder line personality types in atheism? what would an atheist with those personality traits be saying?

the straw man argument in logical fallices doesn't apply here. we are comparing what people are saying to determine the most reliable path we can, for each of us. So ignoring certain aspects of this debate in the name of "stop religion" and "thats not what we are saying." is not appropriate for most people.

we are questioning my-god-only and comparing that to anti-god to stop religion.

The biggest red flag is when people say that aligning a statement of belief about god to what science data is recorded. we have people actually saying that we should not be forming a belief based on the data science has collected. I have no idea how any atheist or theist can think that is any way shape or form the most rational approach.

In fact, I think, most theist and atheist would agree that aligning a statement of belief about god to science is best option we have. Hiding science to maintain a statement of belief about god is the exact thing we don't like about religion and we have atheist saying the exact same thing.

people that get confused are the people we should be teaching to the best of our ability. We shouldn't be using them as weapons. Thats what fundamental theist do.

You target people like phet and marc to set them off like smart bombs.

when you look on the field and see people that are ready to play ... you run away. and then laugh amongst yourself how you sure showed us. all giddy and what not.

"agenda free atheism". the scariest thinking known to militant atheist.

You have said this literally hundreds of times. Please stop it. Either list the traints you are talking about or we can assume that you are simply trying to stir up trouble.

There it is again. List the traits you are talking about or this post is just nonsense.

Who said they were aligning a statement of belief with anything. Be specific. Name names. Who said it? Quote the posts.

Why would anybody align a statement of belief about God with science? That's complete nonsense.

I'm pretty sure everybody is confused. What confuses them is what you say. What traits are you talking about and what alignment do you mean? Be specific.

All you need to do is read some of the comments in this thread and you will understand why some are so fed up with Christianity and all of its rules/doctrines/preachings.
