I think you do the atheists in this forum a grave disservice, readerguy. Sure some arguing the atheist position here have disregarded context, but many of them have not.
Certainly the practice of de-contextualizing and twisting is
not limited to atheists -- I've probably known more "Christians" who've done such than I have "atheists" -- partly because I've probably known more Christians than atheists.
I agree that parts of this discussion are going round in circles at the moment, but as you've read the discussion, you've doubtless noticed that the
tone of it is unusually civil for such a discussion. Please help us keep it that way.
We're glad to have you join our community, but we're also very protective of that sense of community around here. Please help us keep it civil.
