Dissension in the ranks?

Rvb8: “I am not guilty of being patronising here, as Barry often is. I do genuinely hope that you can see the grandeur of life without recourse to human invention.”
Although I don’t agree with the hyperbole and rhetoric that rvb8 has displayed, he does have a valid point. Some of us, as Christians (and I have been guilty at times), tend to be patronizing, arrogant and pompous towards those who lack the faith. Before we speak we should take a couple steps back and make a decision: is our goal to ridicule and debase atheists, or to convince them that our worldview is better? So far, sadly, I have seen more of the former than the latter. Hopefully, this will change.

Damn. This is a theist who I would probably enyoy having a drink with. Maybe it is his/her name. Anybody who would chose to be named after my cat is gold in my books
