Stringsinger, I was describing my observations, nothing related to justice at all, let alone to aggression. Everybody must be his own judge about the soundness of his posts - I merely give hints when reacting to messages addressing me.

If you think I refuse taking a position myself - I took a clear position here several times, on the topic of your OP. Generally at Mudcat, I am more often accused of being too outspoken. There is nothing wrong with stating one's own opinion and criticizing others, stating whom exactly and for what exactly. The others must then be allowed to "plead not guilty".—
Steve's anger might stem from a certain smugness that is evinced by those who are so assured of their position philosophically or intellectually.
If this is so, succumbing to one's anger amounts to admitting defeat, particularly in the light of the accusation "they are just projecting their personal traumas". Steve seems to prefer the smug and scornful side himself.—

Steve, Dawkins does not pose any threat to my personal faith whatsoever, and if you find anything in my posts suggesting otherwise, tell us. ("You owe me" means that your accusation hitherto lacks corroboration.) Some of my concerns about and objections to Dawkins and his followers are specified above, you can read and criticize them if you are interested.
