Just a quick post. It is pathetic how little the atheists are prepared to engage in actual direct debate with theists in their forums and blogs. I have recently been involved in debating with a bunch of Young Australian Skeptics who kept hammering on against religion, especially Christianity and especially Catholic Christianity. The inevitable happened in the end, as it always does. I was banned and my last posts were censored. Accusations were thrown that I am some kind of troll or spammer. My links and quotes are allegedly hearsay whereas theirs are allegedly hard fact.
When my friend Julie posted a response after my ban which included a couple of important links, the links were removed, while the link an atheist posted in response stayed.
These are people who pride themselves on being free thinkers and who condemn the Church for censorship of ideas. It always ends up turning nasty, however pleasant and reasonable I try to be and however much I bear the jibes, playground-level insults and accusations. I suppose I'll just have to find solace in the fact that the vast majority of people in the world do believe in G_d and the noises a few vocal atheists make is unlikely to affect that overmuch. I'm just always taken aback a little by how much they reveal their true colours when subjected to the pressure of debate.
