You fucking liar.
I quote from the "I'll pray for you" thread from the same board:

It's never been rebuffed.

I agree that it would be perceived as such, and should not be presented that way. If someone said, "I realized today that I am gay," my response would be (and has been), "well, I love you no matter what, and now as always before if there's something i can do to help you, please let me know."
For the latter, "I am an atheist now," the response is similar: "Well, I love you no matter what. If you have examined all the evidence and come to that conclusion, then that's where you are, and I will accept and love you just as I always have. I can't tell anyone to do any differently, because that's how I came to be where I am. That kind of examination may lead people in different directions, and if you're okay with that, then so am I."
Then I try to be the best friend/father/cousin/uncle/whatever to them as I can. And if anything about them needs to change, then it's out of my hands, other than to support them with love. If God exists and wants more than that, She's going to have to do it some other way because that's all I can give.
Yeah, that's sure some deep antipathy I've got going there.
You asshole. What I have a deep antipathy for is liars and people who try to drag other people's names through the mud. Be they atheist, Christian, or what-the-fuck-ever.

Selective quoting?
Later on in that thread you come up with: quote:
At some point, the minister's lack of faith becomes intolerable.
OED definitions of "intolerable": quote:
That cannot be tolerated or put up with; unbearable, insupportable.
Yes, that sounds like antipathy.
Again your opener on another thread was: quote:
Is this typical of you atheist deconverts, or is she just an asshole?
I.e. was she an asshole, or are all you atheists assholes? Antipathy? Not much. Maybe you'd made your opinions of atheist assholes more than clear. Perhaps that's why she acted before you could dump her.
Someone who selectively quotes their own posts is the liar, Mousethief.

.
Did it occur to you that he meant "intolerable for the minister?" as in, "it is really painful to try to act like you have a faith you don't? Because, whether you agree with it or not, that read makes a hell of a lot more sense and fits mousethief's other posts more than the way you spun it.

Really? I suggest that you try again.
It would indeed be intolerable (insupportable, unbearable, ...) for an avowed atheist to serve as a parish priest. This doesn't imply any feelings of antipathy towards the person in question at all. The fact that he is profoundly unsuited to being a priest doesn't at all mean that anyone hates him. It just means that he's not suited to being a priest.
Similarly it would be intolerable for a university to hire Dave the Street Sweeper as Professor of Mathematics. That doesn't mean that anyone hates Dave, who no doubt is a perfectly lovely chap - just that he's not suited to be a maths professor.

This is actually what I meant, although I thank Kelly and GK for trying to put it in what seems to them a better light. I don't see how it shows antipathy to say someone not trained as a mathematics professor should not have the job of a maths professor. Or that someone who is not a Christian should not have the job of a minister at a Christian church.
I should not under any circumstances be a salesman. Because I suck at it. Hiring me as a salesman would be a bad idea, and were I to somehow get into a sales position and insist on staying in it under false pretense, knowing full well that I couldn't sell ice to a snow cone vendor, that would be intolerable. Dishonesty is intolerable. Lying (which is what I would be doing in that case) is intolerable. It should not be tolerated.
But that's not the issue. The issue is a blanket statement. Any time I spoke about people losing faith, Pre-Cambrian said, I have shown a deep antipathy. That's a universal statement. It is equivalent to saying I have never once said anything about people losing faith that did not show antipathy.
I have shown twice where I spoke on exactly that subject and not only did I not show antipathy, I showed compassion and love. Atheists here have acknowledged this is the case. Therefore to say I have not done so, ever, is a falsehood. Either PC is lying, or is making blanket statements without warrant. Which is hard to excuse, given that the statements I quoted are on this very board, which is all about people losing* their faith, and they were fairly recent as Ship posts go.
Maybe, PC, you didn't see them. In which case you can apologize now for misrepresenting me and for speaking beyond what you knew. If you did, of course, you were saying something you knew to be false, which is lying. Which also you should apologize for. Either way, you owe me an apology.

It only requires one counterexample to disprove a universal. I went above and beyond the call of duty and gave you two. Yes, when someone is disproving a universal, he selectively quotes -- he quotes the counterexamples. Because that's what disproves a universal. This isn't about whether some things I have said about deconverts have shown antipathy. I definitely spoke of that one person with some antipathy because I am still angry and hurt by what she did, 20 years later. Sorry if you don't like that. Actually no I'm not. Fuck yourself if you don't like that.
But you made a universal statement which is false. You owe me an apology.

Atheist here, chipping in with my tuppence.
mousethief has very often shown me antipathy and indeed quite hurtful viciousness, and I am 100% sure that this is (at least partly) because I am an atheist. He has taken similar approach to other atheists on these boards, and I'm sure his refutation is very much along the lines that some of his best friends are black.

I must only use my powers for maintaining order and the occasional piece of shocking capriciousness to keep folk on their toes. Swatting a thread just because it makes me want to cry into my gin & tonic at the sheer pointlessness of trying to have a rational discussion with a hamster-brained man is not within my remit.

So you could have called him to Hell if he pissed you off that way, Yorick. Maybe you have in the past - I can't recall? But that's your ongoing general privilege here - and his. Which he has just exercised.
And he is, in this case, getting support from some heavy hitters. Which, given the context, is not surprising, whatever you or anyone else may think about mousethief's general posting tendencies.
I think RuthW nailed it myself. Mind you, she often does.

I can't say I've paid close attention to mousethief's attitude to atheists.
I just know what a counterexample does to an absolutist argument. Or what it's supposed to do anyway, in a logically rational universe...

Yes, B62, I quite agree. But just as absolutist arguments are disproven by counterexample, his characterising himself as smelling of roses is undermined by the scent of poo-poo.

I dare say there are several of us qualify for the title of Ship's Curmudgeon from time to time, Pyx_e. But I confess I've mostly avoided that thread, because when I read it I find mousethief's contributions pressing my buttons. (It's good to find that what he was saying was "intolerable" wasn't what I thought it was, but still.)

I remember (and, from previous comments of yours, so do you) that you and mt used to get on pretty well. And that was when you were just as much an atheist as you are now, and, if anything, slightly more outspoken about it.
The reasons for him falling out with you are years old, and if he hasn't got over them by now, he should, but I'd be astonished if your atheism were one of them.

I read the post and agreed with Kelly’s and LC's interpretation. Being a Minister of Religion is hard enough for those who believe that God called them to be there and believe. I’d imagine that it would be almost impossible for anyone who didn’t believe in God to do it for any length of time.
OTH, that works in reverse as well. As I identify as a Christian, I could hardly set myself up as a female equiv of Richard Dawkins. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Are you sure you are an atheist as opposed to a non-theist, because I'm told they are different ?

Okay, I'm not important in this, and I'm not interested in any discussion about me or my relationship with mousethief. I brought up the issue that he has been horrid to me, and that I feel sure this is at least in part because of my atheism, because he was trying to persuade people that he's loving to atheists and even prayed for one once.

And, let's be clear here: mousethief and I have had a long, long relationship often punctuated by gnashing of teeth. I've given him plenty of reasons to be mean to me, so it would be idiotic of me to project that onto coincidental aspects of myself (such as my religious orientation, intellectual philosophies, or my great physical beauty).
One would think that you are in a very similar situation, Yorick (aside from the beauty or intelligence). To over-simplify it as "because I'm an athiest" is lame.

You lose. I only have so much undying contempt to waste on you lot, and a few other people have already beaten you to it. Sorry, by comparison to some of the other shit that's been driving me to the Fernet lately, you're small potatoes.

Unless the person is talking about the effect of the posts in balance, and I can see nothing from pЄ that says he is talking about every post. You'll have to do better than, "Look! Two posts. Gotcha!

Yeah. As if we have that many weekly doses of undying contempt to hand out. LOL.
In 5 minutes we'll just have forgotten him again.
Ariston, did you eat all the pistachios again? We're out.

Technology has brought us all closer together. Turns out a lot of the people you meet as a result are complete idiots.

"Anytime" means at any time. Every single time. What is not "talking about every post" about that? I fail to see how you can see "anytime you do X, you do Y" as not being a universal. It's a poster child for a universal statement.
There is actually only one person on the ship I hold with unremitting contempt, and it's nobody on this thread.

Duh, it's your car, asshole.
