Some people on both sides make ad hominem attacks. Often the religious attack non-believers by questioning whether they can be moral, accusing them of dishonesty- by saying that they are not really atheists, by conveying the sentiment that it is morally justified for them to be punished for eternity, accusing them of disregarding religion for hedonistic reasons, or accusations of being closed-minded/ that they just have not searched for the truth.
I know atheists make offensive comments as well, but I just wanted to point out the above because frankly, every one of these I find offensive, but a theist may not view them as such and thus reach a conclusion that theists are less often offensive simply on the basis of not recognizing the types of comments that an atheist may find offensive. Calling believers stupid or deluded is no less moral than accusing atheists of being dishonest or immoral by nature.
What are some other examples of atheistic attacks on religion you have seen here, Newby?
I would ask you if you could put up a link where the religious made such accusations on the board without provocation. I would like to backhand anyone who did, but I have yet to see it myself.
