It's insulting and completely out of bounds. I know I'm an atheist and I can safely say I suffered _no_ childhood religious traumas. And for you to suggest that I have is insulting. For you to suggest that _anyone_ here has suffered such traumas is insulting.
They disagree with you. I disagree with you. That's it.
The air of superiority you take in this conversations is extraordinarily annoying. It's as if because you say you're spiritual that you have a corner on the experiences you describe. Without a religiou or spiritual bone in my body, I have those same experiences and thoughts. Alas, I'm a sicko, twisted by capitalism atheists.
Must go back to beating my kid, having abortions right and left and engaging in twisted sexual practices -- coz that's the same explanation given for why people do those things too.
