Still religious believers tend to argue far more among themselves than with the atheists: and the closer the beliefs, the more vehement the row. Get a Southern Baptist and a Baptist in a room, or an Anglo-Catholic and a Catholic!

He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"

Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

Why would that be? Why would a theist have a conflict of interest but not an atheist? Both can choose to be either interested parties or disinterested parties. If you would tend to be biased to one side of the argument, an atheist might tend to be biased towards the other side.

jerome wrote:I'm Jerome, an Anglican. Just want to make sure I greet every single believer, regardless of faith, and make sure you feel welcome and say I'll always be happy to chat if oyu have any issues drop me a pm (Same applies to atheists and agnostics of course!) . I used to have some advice for believer son RD.net but I lost it sadly, but basically, have fun!
So who do we have in the "people of faith" category?

I opposed your nomination for modship on rd.net when I was an Admin. This was not personal of course, but I did not think a theist would be appropriate, even though if there was one it would be you, I was wrong to oppose. Sorry. Never had a chance to say that to you.
