Atheists, please refrain from sarcastic sniping at members simply because you believe there's a scientific answer to their experiences. There's no need for belittling members just because you disagree with them.

While this is an interesting and even poignant request, I don't understand how as an OP that it's a basis for continued discussion. As such, I'm moving it ~elsewhere~.

No, they deserve to be repeatedly shown wrong.

I say encourage the sniping, since that allows easy identification of the jerks and bigots.

And then they deserve to be mocked for ignoring all the times they were shown wrong.

Eh. I have very strong opinions about individuals of pretty much every belief system. Doesn't mean "atheists are evil" or "Christians are stupid" or anything like that. All ideologies have some stupid and evil people. At the same time, though, all ideologies claim some brilliant and loving people.

Or maybe I haven't slept in two days and missed the point entirely. :redface:
