On the first part. On the second part, I was trying to point out how stoopid it is for us to be chewing each others' limbs off when the common enemy only benefits from our in-fighting.

I agree with you but the only problem I have is that if they cannot shit on there own door step they come and shit on ours.
“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

John Maclean (Scottish socialist) speech from the Dock 1918.

But... the vast majority of theists are either not up to arguing about it or are so divorced from rational thought that arguing is just no fun. That leaves in-fighting as the most entertaining option.


Edit: The rest of them are actually already members on one of our boards. So they are honorary atheists in my eyes.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

The Net is best considered analogous to communication with disincarnate intelligences. As any neophyte would tell you. Do not invoke that which you have no facility to banish.
