Michael: I respect your right to persist in your faith, mousethief; but am at a loss as to why you imagine that your holding it makes you in some way more mature [whence your patronsising 'grow up'] than us atheists.

No, it's not that my holding it makes me more mature. It's my not playing silly "I'm cooler than you are because I'm a[n a]theist" games that makes me more mature. I don't go onto threads where a bunch of atheists are talking and make snide remarks about how much better I am than they because I believe in God. You do the reciprocal. I find that kind of behaviour immature whether I find it in atheists or theists. Ergo my comment.
