[quote name='kakomu']Funny that you talk about me taking college classes. As far as I can tell, I never use my going to college as justification for the validity of my opinions (except for those that directly pertain to college itself). In fact, the only times I ever even talk about school is if it's actually asked of me. However, people seem to like to harp on it as if I talk about it all the time.[/quote]
I recall in a debate about nothing in one of the topics, in which you sparked, you validated your argument by stating you were taking analytical courses and/or debating courses in college.
I took and completed a cooking class in 7th grade, this makes me an aficionado on the culinary arts, right?
I didn't know others "harped on it all the time". At least I wasn't the only one who saw it.
[quote name='kakomu']That being said, your opinion talks of bitter atheists and anti religious types. This is broad because there are a lot of them that are bitter or anti religious for different reasons. It's also good to point out that people who are anti-religious aren't necessarily bitter atheists and vice versa. So, you've talked about a wide berth of people and lumped them into a single characterization. Tell me how that's not broad?[/quote]
Let me start out by saying that I didn't say "anti-religious" -- I said "anti-RELIGIONS". I didn't clarify what this was, but it's a fairly common thing. It is a religion or organized group targeting a certain religion. People who are "anti-religious" are against all religion, but don't necessarily devote their lives to sticking it to a specific religion.
I clarified what brand of Atheist I was speaking of, by the way; in the parenthesis after the initial "bitter Atheist" comment. Ones who are Atheist for mere shock value or to appear smarter.
These weren't generalizations. I spoke of what type of Atheist think they're sages and people of "anti-religions" (although "anti-religion religion" may be more suitable) was self-evident.
Maybe if you prefaced the opinion with "I Find that most bitter atheists...", it wouldn't be so bad, because it's stated from your perspective. Rather, you decided to declare that they are pseudo-intellectuals.
I've addressed this above, already, but I'll make mention again. I don't need to correct my opinion by saying "most bitter Atheists", as I've already stated what type of Atheist I feel defines "bitter". If I prefaced my opinion as such, it would sound as though I thought that all Atheists were bitter.
As for lack of humor, not sure where you got that from.
I've seen you post in Family Guy and Simpsons topics.
