- The reason that some Atheists bash fundies is the same reason that some fundies
- condemn Atheists. There are individuals on both sides who are convinced that
- their way is the only correct way (though I suspect that the percentage of Xians
- who believe they have the one true way far exceeds the percentage of Atheists
- who are convinced of they correctness).
-
- The reason that some Atheists, myself included, are annoyed when people achieve
- something and then thank JEEZUS is because we can see the work they did to
- accomplish their feat.
-
- The reason I do not take my discussion to a.a.m is because I like the direct
- challenge to my world view, and I don't want a filter to the arguments that
- others present (although the upstream newsfeed went down again and I lost another
- three days worth of news. I'm beginning to sympathize with Mr. Nyikos.). I much
- prefer to rely on the kill file and the "N" key to filter out the drivel.
