I think you'll have an answer to this question when you can explain why the nonsense spurred by atheists gets a different treatment to nonsense brought forth by creatinists. Why is a certain kind of nonsense somehow more acceptable than another?

Would you mind pointing out what "nonsense" atheists have spewed then? Or, perhaps, by "nonsense" you mean anything you don't agree with?

Perhaps the real question should be, "Why do some Christians feel the need to assign derogatory and inapplicable labels to people they don't agree with?" It isn't just the "atheist" label, there's plenty of others, like the ever-popular, "He's not a true Christian."

Emphasis mine.

Strangely, when considering that being a "True Christian" is being a close minded individual (since the ones calling you "not a True Christian" overy often are), I don't see how being called "not a True Christian" can be seen as a bad thing. Now, being called "not a Christian" when you are one, I can see that being painful for someone, but since no one can agree on what a "True Christian" is anyway, I don't think that term could be seen as very derogative.

Yes i could but i'd have to open up a new thread, as this is very offtopic here. If i open up a new thread, i'd be suspended for attacking the multitude of assumptions being made in most every thread. This has been changing lately and people are starting to get more tolerant towards the idea of some type of creator, I think this is rather obvious to everyone.

If you'd like, I'll start a new thread on this, and then we can discuss it there. If your claim holds true, I don't think you'll have anything to fear. In fact I don't think you'll have anything to fear at all. Certainly not from me, if you convince me, I'll fight by your side, if you don't the worst that you'll get from me is me saying you make baseless assertions.

Did you know that there are many creationists who do not have a religion or specific belief in any God?

Really? I've never met one who didn't believe in some god or other. Do you have some examples?

The Evolution Model is seen as an atheistic model (even though not all evolutionists are atheists) because it purports to explain everything without God.

The evolution model doesn't explain "everything". Merely the diversity of life we see. It makes no comments on anything else.
