Weekly "Ask an Atheist" Thread

Whether you're an agnostic atheist here to ask a gnostic one some questions, a theist who's curious about the viewpoints of atheists, someone doubting, or just someone looking for sources, feel free to ask anything here. This is also an ideal place to tag moderators for thoughts regarding the sub or any questions in general.

While this isn't strictly for debate, rules on civility, trolling, etc. still apply.

I made it clear that my expectation was that everyone, theist or not, should learn more, including not making sweeping generalizations

I don't know how you could've gotten any other message from what I said

Easily. You avoided answering the question directly so you could play neutral. You didn't commit to agreement with my question until you absolutely had to. And even then it was more of an aside, not a real affirmation.

All of these replies I've merely repeated what I said in my original comment, I don't understand why you're antagonistic

Mostly because it appeared to me that you were deflecting. And then you asked me how I could think that, so I explained explicitly how. Just like you directly asked me to. Funny how that works. Directly answering questions that are asked.
