CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Is some of the anti science movement to be blamed on scientists?

I never quoted, I made a statement.
Why are you... all of you... so upset about me taking a quote made to insult and belittle Creationists, and turning it into my own view on Atheists?
Right, because it is a insulting and offensive quote that was designed to insult and inflict injury and assault the sensibilities of Christians, and you feel that is the only way it should be, correct?

Ad hominem abuse (also called personal abuse or personal attacks) usually involves insulting or belittling one's opponent in order to invalidate his or her argument, but can also involve pointing out factual but ostensible character flaws or actions which are irrelevant to the opponent's argument. This tactic is logically fallacious because insults and even true negative facts about the opponent's personal character have nothing to do with the logical merits of the opponent's arguments or assertions.
Everyone knows the Atheist way of communication towards Christians is strictly fallacious, why do you continue?

I do not share this opinion.
Personally I tend to appeal to reason and evidence to support my position.

Believing all life came from a ROCK and all species came from one single cell organism is neither reasonable or supported by evidence.

Got it.
Obviously, which, of course, is irrational of you.
Which brings us back to the thread.
