"Why do you argue in this manner? You use lol and lmao in such a condescending way. "

but i mean come on if i'm dealing with someone that can't see that "anarcho-communism" is an oxymoron what am i supposed to do with that?

 

"Have you studied these topics in-depth at school or something? "

whether i have or have not is irrelevant... do you have counterpoint to anything i've posted?

 

"when you do nothing but talk down to everyone here and use phrases like "most," "many" and "pretty much" with little to no proof to back up any of your claims"

i don't know what you're talking about here, can you quote the point i made so i can address your problem here?

 

"(except for other phrases like "I know better," against which nobody can really argue.)  "

oh i see now its about me stating that most atheists hold the position to inflate their egos... so... are you like expecting me to somehow survey people on whether they adopt an ideology to inflate their egos? does that sounds like something i can seriously acquire statistical data on?

i'm talking about what i've observed and its quite obvious that it was a subjective opinion i have... but curiously you weren't offended by vivster calling religious people morons repeatedly

seems a bit hypocritical to me but whatever

 

"The main difference is that the 'anarcho-communits' base their morals on rationality, not on a random ancient book."

 

despite this being untrue can you really not see that this is condescending? and... why aren't asking him or the other people i was in discussions with to back up similar claims like this that he can't substantiate? i don't think you're being objective here even though you're trying to pretend that you are

 

"Can you point me in the direction of some of the anarcho-communist literature"

we're on the internet, you could simply open a new tab and use google right? do you have any specific rebuttal to anything i've posted or is this just some lame passive aggressive thing you're doing here?

 

"Or where you're sourcing your information on atheistic motivations? "

well i've address this above but i'll state that a good way to understand the motivations of people is to watch their behavior... not listening to what they say but watching what they do

As to the bold: you've demonstrated this in spades in many threads over. 

I was trying to understand your point of view, but clearly from this reply, you have no desire to actually argue or prove anything that you're saying. You use whataboutism. You quote out of context. You don't even remember what you said, and the burden of proof of your claims is on everyone else. So I'm done, thanks. 

 

"So I'm done, thanks. "

you never began.. you didn't address anything i posted, instead resorting to passive aggressive bullshit lol

make a point that's relevant to anything i've posted and then we can start

furthermore you've accused me of behavior that i've demonstrated is being perpetuated by others i've conversed with and you didn't have a problem with them (presumably because you agree with their perspective)  so really unless you are ready to actually provide some backing such as direct quotation to your criticisms it'd be best to just keep them to yourself

for example - " You don't even remember what you said" with regards to what? it should be obvious that if you don't quote the post you have a problem with i'll be unaware of the context
