Why is it that so many in the atheist community cannot bring themselves to get past their anger whenever they engage in discussions? The language of many of their contributions in public debate is laced with invective and dripping with sarcasm and bile. There are exceptions of course, but they tend to fall more into the category of being the 'exception that proves the rule' when compared to the hostility of many of today's atheist posters.

ReplyDeleteTim,
ReplyDeleteOn second thought, I agree with you about my postings under this subject. I do not wish to be offensive. That is not my purpose. It may not be the best way of communicating. Can you delete all of my postings under this subject for me please? I used to see a wastebasket button which would allow me to delete my own postings, but it no longer appears. Please delete all my postings under this heading (The Real Presence) if possible. Thanks.
STG: As requested, I've removed your comments and mine as well. I just left up your last one requesting I do this so that people won't think I am somehow blocking you on this subject.
ReplyDeleteYou've proved once again that you're a gentleman.
Thank you.
Fr. Tim
