Judge for yourself. The post in question is: Message 17194023 The text in question is: Then I come over here, and I am bugged by the fact that those with clear orientations, who think that religion is bad and oppressive and superstitious and polarizing, and who think that atheism or agnosticism is rational and humane and heroic and liberating, pretend that they are somehow more objective than I am, fail to make a serious effort to engage the points on the table, and merely resort to accustomed forms of ridicule, in essence. To me, they may as well be Jew- haters, even granting they do not limit themselves, but despise those with some religious belief (most of their fellow men) pretty equally. Then E called him on it: Message 17200081 He tried to weasel out, saying "I refused to get caught in a long argument with E, because it is futile, and I do not want to get into it in detail or personally", and complaining about being "misrepresented". Telling someone they may as well be a Jew-hater, and then retreating on the grounds that you don't want to get into it personally, seems pretty chickenshit to me. You may want to give the man a nod for logic, though on recent evidence I can't imagine why, but he won't ever get one for having the courage to stand behind his own statements.
