It really annoys people when ...
You show Christians when they act like atheists.

In the real world (out side of message board hysterics) an average atheist and an average Christian or an average religious person doesn't react differently to different circumstances. The differences mainly emerge from collective behaviour of these groups.

There's no such thing as "acting like an atheist".

There's no such thing as "acting like an atheist". You just did act like one. I've been over this before. Although it is incorrect to stereotype individuals, although it is incorrect to generalize about individuals, it does prove to be true that various groups of people on the whole do in fact exhibit particular traits. The example I often use is that people in the southern United States drink more iced tea than other people. While it would indeed be incorrect to assume some individual "Cletus" who happens to live in the southern United States necessarily drinks more iced tea than anyone else, it can be proved true that as a group people in the southern United States do consume more iced tea. A person whose job is to stock the shelves could lose his job if there isn't enough iced tea or the makings thereof on the shelves. The dictionary does not usually list all the characteristics that types of people exhibit. Many characteristics exist that are not considered "defining" characteristics. You cannot say that Cletus is not a Southerner merely because he doesn't like iced tea. That indeed is not a "defining" characteristic. Nevertheless consuming more iced tea is a characteristic of Southerners. It is not just some random thing. There is in fact a causation to the correlation. There often is a causation to a correlation. Your continued failure to recognize this truth is the result of having an especially elementary school world view, which happens more than usual with many atheists and Christians. It might not be a "defining" characteristic indeed. I have met Christians and atheists with much more advanced world views. They are however few in number, even fewer than the percentage of southerners who do not like iced tea. |

The differences mainly emerge from collective behaviour of these groups. Often when I consider television or radio commentary on the world I think I must be in the universe where Spock has a beard. In real life it happens less often, but it still does happen. I agree about group characteristics. I've met many people in groups that are exceptions to the general characteristics of those groups. |

And as usual, your thoughts on the subject served merely to demonstrate that you don't know what you're talking about. There is no such thing as acting like an atheist. Perhaps this upsets you, perhaps you feel that it should not be so. Nevertheless, that is the reality of it. |

In my experience I find that Christians fancy themselves behaving more differently than the rest of humanity than they actually do. And the lines aren't just drawn between believers and non-believers. We had a devout Protestant neighbor that wanted tutoring and help with his desktop, and he was upset and fearful that the only available tutor was a Catholic. He wasn't sure he could "trust" a Catholic consultant. |

That seems like the kind of thing Arlon would write. |

I judge people based on their behaviors, not their beliefs.

Didn't you know that at least all female atheists are blonde with big tits? They are easily recognisable in their natural habitat of a bar seducing married men drinking martinis and exchanging abortion clinic cards, after a hard day filming porn! ……...wait! |

I hate to mention it butt Catholic girls are dark with moustaches, except the beautiful Irish redheads! Your dreams need more variety IMHO! |
