Certainly, civil discourse is essential, but even civil discourse is meaningless without fact-based reasoning. JohnyJohn's claims are purely subjective, and have no relevance in objective physical reality.

Agreed, but my thought was that the comment:

So really. Get outta here. I'm not impressed by you at all.
wasn't in accordance with the TOS. As if he's a bull on cattle auction that needs to impress some Yankee. Disagreement can be expressed a bit more politely.

Agreed, but some people may simply be incapable of expressing themselves in a meaningful manner without resorting to personal insults or inflammatory outbursts.


I know, but that's not really an excuse or justification, is it? If they can't express themselves more or less politely, then they should avoid heated discussions. Some of us have been appointed to (try to) moderate discussions in the direction of politeness. :shrug:

Look i despise atheism because it is the cause of moral decline in the world.You know Christianity respects other religions,not the religions itself,but the free will,if the person's don't do harm to them.A priest even said that buddhism is morally right ,even though it is not the truth at least it its right in the moral sense,since morality comes form God-given conscience and logic.But hate pagan religions which sacrifices children's and drink blood and worship nature and sexual lawlessness.


Get back to us the next time a Christian enthusiast blows up an abortion clinic.

Not at all. Just an explanation (subjective).
