Actually, the situation is even more troubling. More often than not, most "atheist" threads come from a line of reasoning so poor and fallacious, that it makes me wish they were posted by trolls.
Any specific examples?

I accept that people need to believe in such things for comfort, but that doesn't make them true. It's all just wishful thinking and false consolation. And people who offer me false consolation are false friends.
I am unfortunately not convinced, your horese is based on faith - which is admitting flat-out that there is no proof.
And I just know you are trolling..trust me on it. By the way, there is a tiny purple dragon in your left tit. It's adorable.. what? Oh, no, I don't have proof. You just have to trust me on it. It's a matter of faith, you know.
Your beliefs are antiquated, Matt dear. And I don't swallow my moral code in tablet form.

Angry much? lol
I'm confused -- was he offering you false consolation before you went into this thread?

I thought I was being exceedingly polite considering how I really feel about religion. :o
Did you expect me to call it the glorious truth? Besides, the guy is a troll, notice how barely anyone bothered to seriously debate with him (including myself)? :)

He's not a troll, he really is this delusional / stupid.

Spam, give me some time and I can look for the most painful examples if you want.

No, he IS a troll. He just fails to be as amusing as this guy:
Pokit
Mattsanity.
I'm oblivious to the meaning of all these pictures.

You might dump on my faith, but I will be there for you on this site if you need any support. I'm not saying you're inferior (we're all equal), but I want to be a helping hand. If this was real life, I would buy coffee with you so we can make friends with each other.

Not to call you out or anything like that...but im calling you out on this :) You're guilty of this yourself. A while ago you started an atheist thread of sorts (cant remember what the name of it was exactly), where it started ok, but as the many dozens of paragraphs went by (your thread starter posts are looong) it went from "i see his point, thats true" and "ok, i gues thats a reasonable point to make" to "wait, what?" and "jesus ing christ Marcus did you read this before you posted in" and eventualy to banging my head against the table then writing a very lengthy (longer than yours!) and somewhat angry reply which ultimately resulted in a "Meh, this" sigh of resignation and clicking on the red x button instead of the post reply button.

When was this? It wasn't last year's April Fool's thread, was it? :conf:
Moongoose
I dont think it was an april fools thread since i remember it starting off ok, but then it hit me "wait, why is lira building up this massive strawman?". In the end i dont think i even participated in the thread, but i did write a massive reply to your post dissecting the points you made before eventualy saying it and closing the browser before posting the reply :D
