I just thought I'd note that the practice of bolding proper user names now has increased importance. Now, when I want to refer to a Muslim in general, I will not bold the word. But when I refer to Muslim, the person registered under the user name, I will bold the word.
Thanks, Yaw, for introducing me to this idea (even though you probably weren't aware of it).

Good point, Maverick. I usually bold the person's name as a token of respect, but you are correct, we now have a solid reason to adhere to that tradition.

Your all far too nice to the fools who follow gods. Why not tell them they are foolish for having a faith. Why not tell them they are backward. How can you reply to the believers without a snigger and without contempt for them?

How can you reply to the believers without a snigger and without contempt for them? Snigger and call them foolish and backward. Yes, that would be a perfect way to show how mature we are. ;D

It's just my nature to try to provoke a reaction..and I do lack a certain amout of diplomacy,it's a problem I am trying to control I was only trying to create a bit of Banter(do you have that word in the America's)In case you don't ..the Oxford English dictionary says.. Banter..Friendly teasing between peoples.

It is generally better than bandying politically correct platitudes, although it might not serve ones purpose too well. We atheists should be trying to undo the stigma, not increasing it.
