@PhilosophyExp I think I do understand the aggressive atheist impulse. It's the pleasure of being part of a gang and peer approval.
Okay, so this is where I really don't understand the aggressive atheist impulse. http://bit.ly/SnQvHu I don't get either the satisfaction...

@sjzara Yes, right, there is that - I'd have been better off saying I can't empathize with that.... -
@PhilosophyExp I'm afraid I can empathise with it even though I now reject it, as it used to be my position. -
@sjzara Fair enough. It's entirely possible you have more grounds for feeling that way towards religion than I've ever had. -
@PhilosophyExp I didn't really have such grounds. I can't use that excuse. I think I was just being thoughtless. I look back with shame. -
@sjzara Uh oh. Now I'm feeling the need to defend your previous "aggressiveness". Pleased to hear you weren't good at it, though! :)

@PhilosophyExp Accidentally RT'd -- I meant to reply. I do enjoy finding things stupid (privately), but that's not aggressive or sadistic. -
@JeanKazez Also the stupidity of a religious teenager is a bit.. easy. If it were a Bishop, then sure, but, you know, a kid...!

@PhilosophyExp Mostly because the response is stupid. The christian God is perfectly benvolent, ergo he cares for all, all the time. :PThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
