Typos and spelling errors don't represent in any way sloppy thinking. Sloppy grammar might, on some occasions, and if only in a miniscule way, reflect sloppy thinking, but not typos. To be sure, one can have a fantastic logical understanding of what he or she intends to say, even if he or she writes the wrong word or misspells something, or even said person makes a grammatical mistake. To offer but one example, there are plenty of brilliant foreigners whose grasp of the language is limited but who have impeccable logical abilities and whose thinking is very organized. Conversely, there are people who write with perfect grammar and spelling and completely lack reasoning skills and are very slopping in their thinking. So don't lower yourself to the above pettiness. You are obviously way to bright for this!
Speaking of rudeness, your behavior here was like that of a child who must be the center of attention. It is uncouth for you to take up 1/2 the page with way oversized letters that are harder to scroll through and read, that reflect your need to write bigger than everyone else, and that add absolutely nothing to the argument. By the way, Axeman never reallly set out to prove that God COULDN"T exist, only that he doesn't recognize any logical arguments for why God must, or even is likely, to exist. And as I stated earlier, and you actually reiterated later, since we can know nothing for certain except our own existence, all that each of us can do is use our best logic to discern what we consider reasonable and likely with respect to the cause and order of the universe.
bigotry against Jews (I will preempt the stupid arguments over "semitism") not only still exists, but it is enjoying a huge resurgence and it would be a major understatement to say it is alive and well.
I never said that atheists are primarily, or secondarily, or tertiarily guilty for single minded thinking and pushing their views on others. I suggested that there was insufficient evidence to come to that conclusion of theism being more single minded an pushy than atheism based on disproportionate numbers of atheists versus theists in this country and world wide, and the conclusion initially drawn was spurious in nature. Say there are 100 theists and 5 push their religion on others. Who is to say that out of 100 atheists, that 6 don't push their beliefs on others. The thrust of my comments were that it is a human being's own particular nature that makes someone pushy, not their atheistic or theistic belief systems.
But before you said that you said something along the lines that it is atheists and failed theists who regularly fell a need to attach theism because it threatens the atheistic world view and threatens to bring it "crumbling down." Well to the extent that some atheists do attack theists for being theists, theists on average are as guilty of this behavior as atheists.
Anyone who attacks another person on the basis of the other person's belief system is guilty of not having a "live and let live approach to life." People who are truly secure in their own belief system are never intellectually threatened by those who have a different belief system than their own.
This is true when it comes to personal spirituality and other issues where the opposing, or different, belief system does not threaten to infringe on the rights and liberties of others. However, I think that at least one thing that has led people, including axeman, to go on the offensive at times is not the actual belief systems of the people he is arguing with, but rather that some people here completely lack reasoning skills. And when you try to reason with the unreasonable, it becomes frustrating. Still, I agree that the best way to deal with this is not to attack and allow yourself to become frustrated, which virtually all of us are vulnerable to at one time or another (whether most admit it or not), but rather the best way to deal with this is to recognize the limitations of the unreasonable person(s) and to then ignore him/her/them.
