You feel insulted becuase those who follow real science have absolutely no reason to offer respect to someone who believes in Intelligent design. I'm sorry, but there's absolutely NO logic or science backing your claim. The most you have is a deep rooted sense of doubt brought on by ignorance on the topic of evolution, and I'm sorry, but ignorance does not mean it's okay to violently defend your viewpoint. (I noticed in one of your rant-tastic tirades against people like dsgrue3 and myself that you were a man who's beliefs stemmed from creationism). And player 1x3, just stop. So sick of you taking every opportunity to lash out at the very idea of atheism with your pathetic accusations of us relying on faith and our supposed abuse of science to 'push our agenda'. There is no agenda. the entirety of the atheism argument is that "There's no reason to believe in God, therefore we don't. IT's not a matter of fake enlightenment, it's a matter of following the facts and being disappointed that there are people out there (The religious, those who deny established facts and monunentally supported theories) who actively ignore facts and scientific progression not because there's good reason to doubt, but becuase they don't WANT to believe something. So seriously, just stop your crusade. IT makes you look like a zealot. |
Yes, I demand respect because I have a right to believe what I believe, I personally believe it is true and have my reasons for it and you have no right to disrespect me for it. I don't agree with evolution it doesn't mean I reserve the right to treat you without respect that is the most aweful reasoning I have heard to date. You are rationalizing your disrespectful behavior towards people simply because you do not agree with their viewpoint.
ITT I have done everything to prove that I am not an imbecil. I mean I think it should be pretty darn clear this far that I'm not. It's sad when it comes to the point that, once you mention you are Christian or a Creationist, you are considered an absolute moron and the onus is now on you to do everything you can to show that you are intelligent and that you can make valid points. This is a very sad thing.
It ties into what player is saying and though I don't think he should project that onto all atheists (thats quite unfair, and if he didn't do that than I take this back), but he is stating a social trend on the internet and IRL where certain atheists have taken it upon themselves to make a crusade against creationists or Christians and it's a very sad state of affairs, and it all ties into OP.
So to me, it doesn't make him look like a zealot, he's actually telling us things like they are, that there are darker places on the net where people abuse users because of their religious views. It's sad.
