I see an awful lot of rude criticism (some people really go out of their way to be disrespectful and nasty) between theists and atheists on this forum, and the atheists actually are more so than the theists, it seems. I get that many of us haven't had the greatest of interactions with religious people, but so long as they are being civil there is no reason for us to attack them. I have yet to see a theist strongly push their beliefs, but there are plenty of atheist doing so. How is that not as bad as when theists push their religion on us? In short, what is your justification for bashing the religious/nonreligious here?

What!? I think you ought to keep reading. You may be.. um, shocked.
I agree with Sammy you should read more from here as I said elsewhere these are recent and hopefully only temporary developments.
Fair enough, my bad, I jumped the gun on that judgment.
The arguments and conversation of the members of this forum whether they are atheists, theists or agnostics are very interesting to read. They are filled with thoughtful relevance to their opinions and they convey what's on their mind in a healthy manner.
Mysticrose is one of my favorite theists on this site :)
Oh, I'm agnostic so far' :)
This was an old view of mine.
I was shocked by some of the more recent posters also, but it seems that it does bring out the fight within all of us and we will always agree to disagree but the conversation is the most intriguing part.
True, but I do miss the times back when the conversations were more intelligent...
You were there, you probably remember :)
