"Jack according to your calculations, Christians must be jerks too."

Not Christians in general, some Christians. Joe Offer is a leading Christin voice on this forum. He is not a jerk.

Not Atheists. All atheists are not jerks. Most are not jerks.

I am only talking about three. I'll leave Hitchens out as he is not around to defend or explain himself. Dawkins, Shaw and Musket are jerks when it comes to this topic. I am saying that they are no better than the Christians they complain about. I am NOT saying they are as bad as the worst of those who calling themselves Christian. I AM saying that they are stooping to that same smug, dogmatic, superior, and condescending mode of interaction exhibited by the most irritating of "Christians".

I put "Christians" in quotes because I find it difficult to reconcile engaging in such behavior in the name of Christ, according to the Gospels taught the opposite.

I think, Stringsinger, I hope, we understand each other on this topic now.
