It is an apparent dogma of Atheists and all degrees of God mockers here on this forum that you consider yourselves each and everyone unique thinkers. I am just wondering if you all might extend that courtesy to those outside your self-created group that cannot be a group or a category without apparently offending some of you.

Jack, none of this describes me, nor many others, and if you think it does you've not been paying attention. I should also point out the irony of clumping a bunch of people into a group so you can complain about them clumping you into a group. Not to mention using loaded terms like 'dogma' and 'God mockers' while complaining about people talking rudely to you.

If you want to talk about your perception that Christians are all treated as if they weren't individuals, you should talk about it. It looks like you had the first part of the conversation in your head before you started typing. I don't agree that the all the atheists on Mudcat act the way you describe. I don't think it really happens much at all. The only common trait that believers have on these threads is the same (except opposite) as for atheists: they believe in God.

I agree that there are a lot of, but certainly not all of, atheists here who express anger or other dissatisfaction with religion in general. This is because organized religions have done and continue to do many evil things. You'll just have to learn to live with it. Without, hopefully, making assumptions and statements about other people just because they are part of a group. Being part of that group has no bearing on the personalities or communication styles of the members, so grouping us on those topics doesn't really stand up to logical analysis. The only true statement you can make about all atheists as a group is that they don't believe in gods.
