What I have concluded regarding forums post for the most part are about venting on people - facts and fairness are not what people are supporting or wanting.

People hid behind their computer make statements based on the emotions and hate for a belief. Most would not dare confront a person in society or it would be a hate crime. However hidding behind the invisible wall of the internet they feel impowered into a world of unreality and loses all civil discipline.

Most often they hold a value expoused from the news media facts are not important emotions and put downs are held as intellectual reality. They trust no information that does not agree completely with their emotionally held views.

It's kinda like the story of the wizard of Os that hids in his little fearful world cowardly broadcasting his magnificent voice of authority causing fear to the masses. Once put upon to prove their real authority because they have self-appointed themselves as the spokenman for the human race they resort to hate speech.

The whole world of forum is sureal experience people taking themselves too serious living in a world that in made up and self-appointed, but in the real world they would have to prove some form credentials for there statements and be held accountable for rude manners.

Your right this post is another form of unreality to people rather the stuff I posted is fact or not is not important it not about that it about venting hate and calling it by another name, but hey that is the world of forum unreality.

What is Hate?
Most definitions of hate focus on the ways in which hate-mongers see entire groups of people as the "Other."

For example, U.S.-based Tolerance.org argues that "All hate groups have beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics."

Raymond A. Franklin, author of The Hate Directory, focuses on groups that "advocate violence against, separation from, defamation of, deception about, or hostility towards others based on race, religion, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation."

Canadian communications scholar Karim Karim points out that the "Other" is one of a number of human archetypes common to all cultures. When people transfer their fears and hatred to the "Other," the targeted group becomes less than human. Hate-mongers can then "justify" acts of violence and degradation because they have denied the humanity of their victims.

I have none just like you.

But I don't make a pretense that I have all the facts like you do.

Your the one that started this thread the one attacking and putting people down because they don't agree.

Who are you why should I believe you?

You want people to prove there a God or no God because they can make a little thread up and come across with put downs( according to you this is the greatest service every done for the human race arguing on a post) I don't think so...

Actually anything that doesn't fit into your agenda is a waste of time for you. You think because you can argue a point and put down people your intellegent and that proves your point.

History is replete with people that took lives and gave lives for the lastest truth the very thinking you hate religion over. Just to find out another idea a better idea replaced it. You ask people to trust humans to give them the whole truth and nothing but the truth that like asking you to believe God's word is from God.

I don't trust what you post why should I if I can't trust God's word according - to you it is the the world greatest fraud ever put on the human race. Ok! Thats cool - now I am to trust your statements. Yawn - dishonest people with another agenda another belief that they think if they hid the word "belief" its not another religion - Yawn sounds like the same old word game in the name of misleading the masses to promote their agenda.

Rewrite the history of religion to prove your point discredit all the facts with put downs argue the point and produce no real credentials. Ask people to put faith in your statement because you believe them strongly. Sounds and smell like the old religion I got out of. Call people arrogant because that write a verse from the bible on the posted it sounds like an intellectual discussion to me. My way or the highway!

Dud do you take yourself too seriously are you one of those ex-witnesses that believes they are anointed to save the world?

You right about one point we are finally in agreement on - the whole things is a waste of time just like I stated from the first post that you put me down in!

Am I suppose to take your word on it because you post on a public forum?

Who are you and by what authority do you speak what are your credential?

What scholarly work and research have you done?

Which college can I go to too read your work?

Forums are full of people making unfounded statements am I to take you seriously and reject people that actual know something about the subject?

What have you proven? Because you said it on a forum Yawn!

Where your facts?

You have not posted an artical yet that proves anything except people can interpret science anyway they want to prove a point. Yawn - how do you think dictators come to power because they love of truth or by changing the record?

Isn't that what you do here reject anything that doesn't fit into your belief.

Still waiting for you to make a valid point!

Dear SOB

Actually no problems just turn on your tv and watch the 30 second sound bits it easier that way no thinking envolved just following the mass thinking sex, sound bits, gossip., sound bit, models, cars and of course food Oh did I mention sex? Not much entertainment here!

I really like the forum model just make a quick put down and then move on (without reading or engaging the brain) whoever get the biggest put down they win. But if it about a subject that accepted like all religion is bad we can go on and on making statements as though they are absoluted truth. Isn't that what's in vogue now days with the mass media? I believe everything on TV.

Many people on this forum make statements but they post no supporting facts and then when questions they act like it is an accepted idea by everyone in the world. I agree long post are not good the point is there are people that really can bring the No God Issue to the table with equal facts there is a God. Moreover, there is as many people that see the truth about the god of atheistism preached being preached on this forum as the perfect answer to all mankinds woes.

What I like is the attack the assumsion that the post above is my words and that I agree with what it says. I like the fact people are so judgmental when they have to hear the other side of issue and comdemn religious people for the same attitude. And yet claim to be so open minded and enlighten that they just can't understand closed minded religious people.

Actually all I did is post back every time someone made a smart comment a smart comment back so the rafter in my eye is great according to some. That the whole point the intolerency for different thought the very thing these people claim they have escape from since they know longer believe in religion.

I am certain most expected to see a post about how bad religion is durning the crusades not what other people did that do not believe in God. Shock of shock all fault is laid at the feet of religion isn't that the closely held view of most posting here? And yet if the truth was fair (both sides of the issue) would they continue to promote a lie to prove their point?

Most that are ex-witnesses hold the org feet to the fire for doing the same promoting of a lie to keep it going. Sound like nothing change for some just their belief in another religion.

Actually I have nothing to prove I just wanted to see the hateful attacks that some mask behind being enlighten - nothing more

Oh by the way I never read any of your post either so we are equal - I get bored with gossip nite nite!

It doesn't seem that rule applies to everyone fairly on this forum particularly if it a subject that not accepted as fact. Or perhaps its is the subject ones are finding so offensive? Perhaps the "gentle nudge" applies only to me not the comments made by other people on this post - sounds fair too me.

It's much easier to open a mind with a gentle nudge than to strike with force
