Just read back, you did indeed.

It's the implication that religious people are merely one god away from a murderous rampage I find troubling.

FWIW, that post you were referencing sounded perfectly "normal" to me. I don't know about your part of the country, but in mine, you can't throw a rock without hitting someone who thinks and acts just like that-- and the rock will bounce off them and hit another one. That is exactly the type of religious person that makes atheists sneer, and like I referenced in my post #11. It isn't intelligent, clear-spoken, educated religious people that make atheists mock religion-- it is people like that poster.

If you think so little of me and my fellow atheists, why do you keep claiming to be one?

You're just dragging us down.

If you are an atheist, why do you keep making posts saying that you are going to be praying for someone? Or asking your priest to pray for someone?
Here's one I remember:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...4&postcount=15

There is one where you told someone you would ask your priest to pray for someone, but I couldn't find it right off. But it is there. Which is the lie, that you are an atheist, or that you will be praying?

Edit: Here's another one:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=491

I could likely dig up more, but two examples are plenty to show you to be a liar, one way or the other.

My family is Catholic.
I haven't been one for 30 years.
I know the priests of my local church through family.

I offer prayers because I have yet to learn how to offer condolences any other way. All the funerals I have attended in my life have been Catholic.

Just trying to be considerate.
Try it sometime.

Not to be pedantic, (well actually it is to be pedantic), but shouldn't that be "I think at most as little of you as you think of me"?

No, it is "at least" as little because there is the possibility of thinking even more littler.

It is at least equal, but could go lower. The same way a chihuahua is at least as small as a moose.

Come on, now. We've kept this a polite conversation so far. Please let's show all the doubters that it is possible to discuss sensitive subjects without descending into personal attacks. We've managed it very nicely so far - let's not spoil it!
