Have you ever seen me "lash out" at - let's pick a couple of examples - Sikhs or Quakers? Can you find a single post where I rant about those?

Isn't the problem more likely to be the fact that the Catholic Church keeps getting caught doing horrifically bad things? Kidnapping children from their parents and then selling them? Then a guy like me makes a civilised post about it on a forum, and that's 'fanatical'.

You even say you know first-hand how badly this organisation behaves. Why, then, do you think I'm the one with the explaining to do?

Whenever i read your posts around here, it's got something to do with religion and how bad it is. (atleast, most of it)

I'm sorry for not instantly jumping on your mindless bandwagon in which we all spit on religion and religious organizations, but i've grown tired of that. If anything, it's just as bad as evangelical folks telling me i'm going to hell for not believing in god and shoving it down my throat.

Like tankclash pointed out last page, the actions of a few individuals cannot be attributed to an entire organization.

That's like saying atheists are evil because stalin and mao murdered millions.

I think it's atheists like you who give atheism a bad name. Instead of forcing it down someone's throat, try to be more assertive.
In response, you'll be more likely to get some respect.

If you got personal problems with religion, go get some professional help and try to let it go.
