I'll have a go:
My God, this is boring. Why does it always have to go the same way?
It's a shame that those who don't wish to become embroiled in a long-winded, immovable and slightly aggressive argument are extinguished. I think Hugo7's first post (where he mentioned his grandfather) raised some decent points that ought not to be mocked.
A lot of what gets posted is written casually and as such is not intended to be infallible or even reasoned a lot of the time. Yet people insist on jumping down throats, analysing even last grammatical or semantic error and generally railroading the underlying sentiment. It's basically just quite rude and at odds with the progressive freedom of thought that is, I presume, generally thought of as desirable. It often appears less about a passionate view and more about cleverness of argument. I think some people ought to put their cocks away.
And I say this as an atheist and advocate of thoughtful debate. Please feel free to disagree.
