Dark Christian wank
Dark_Christian is generally an interesting, not-too-wanky community dedicated to discussing Dominionist Christianity. It's comprised of lots of agnostics and atheists and some liberal Christians, with a few Buddhists and Jews and probably some Pagans floating around. Normally, people are able to keep these differences from exploding into spooge.

Unfortunately, it doesn't always work - even among the comm's many atheists. [info]horvendile, an atheist, posts about militant atheists and why they suck, and [info]memory_guilded responds fairly reasonably:

"I've found that many of them can be just as militant about their views as religious fundamentalists. Many of them attempt to convert the masses to their anti-theism, instead of showing tolerance and respect toward those who have different views than them. How can you expect the religious to accept your belief (or lack thereof) if you can't show them the same courtesy?"

[info]pope_guilty: "Generally, there's nobody clamouring to murder a lot of people and enslave women and children on account of the lack of a supernatural creator entity wanting them to."

[info]memory_guilded: "You want to target your intolerance toward bloodthirsty religious crazies, be my guest. But last I checked, the vast majority of religious people do not advocate murder and enslavement- which is why I have a problem with militant atheists (and people such as yourself) who make these kinds of broad and incorrect generalizations. Reread my comment, and see how it applies to you."

[info]pope_guilty thinks Memory is missing the point (which she kind of is), but as they argue, [info]pope_guilty quickly becomes the wankier of the two, claiming that reincarnation is violence and militant atheism is justified because there are crazy psychotic religious people.

Small bonus wank: [info]metaphorge says that people rape and kill because they don't believe in God's morality. At least, I think that's what s/h/it's saying? It's a very convoluted sentence.
