> [@pchaos](#): > > I’m a Catholic, and I’m not here to proselytize, but I do believe that if atheists really had what they considered to be the truth. They would be more active in promoting their agenda. Perhaps I’m completely wrong and it’s a regional thing, but despite being potentially grammatically correct, as a former Catholic, I’d never refer to a priest as a ‘preacher’ per posr 328. It’s possible the OP was trying to avoid being decried a Catholic, but if his faith is strong…? As for the lawyer claim, at most I’ll give him the attribution of ignorant law school student-nowhere close to RNATB or jtgain despite my disagreements with the latter. But please troll, stay; you’re fun! ---

It’s possible the OP was trying to avoid being decried a Catholic, but if his faith is strong…? It was his constant switching between Catholic and Protestant idiom, with the occasional random thing that didn’t fit either, in this and other threads, that first prompted me to ask his denomination, up-thread. It was twigging my _troll-o-meter_ pretty heavily. ---

> [@pchaos](#): > > Is it true or false that an ethical man would want to share the truth with others? Sharing the truth like like teaching evolution in schools, the separation of church and state, and sharing the benefits of science (or as you like to term it means to an end)? Or do you mean more actively like uniting under the banner of the Atheist Sun and spread the cold logical TRUTH to all those who are holding onto their petty superstitions, vestigial from a bygone, ignorant age. ---

Human Action is much smarter than most of you. If you had a truth that would make the lives of mankind better. Would an ethical man share it with other men? According to atheists the answer would be “no, because we don’t have an agenda, we don’t believe in organizations.” And we’re not interested in leaving a legacy. ---

So - ‘Truth’ has a very differnt meaning depending on the context. And yet again - you also make assumptions about atheists that do not fit the facts. You’re a fucking moron. ---

Sorry, I haven’t followed the whole thread, but his MO seems to be to be to just ignore anything he doesn’t agree with. I would imagine that’s a very important ability for a dedicated theist. ---
