Answer for Timur's question "Why are Atheists so predictable?"?
Sadly, I was posting an answer to your question Timur when I found out that it had already been deleted. I can't imagine why, when you so obviously wanted a thoughtful response to such accusations of douchebaggery on the part of Atheists.
But I really did want to answer honestly, just to say that we're predictable because a) you expect us to be, and b) you want us to be. That's why you post questions like "Is God real" and "Is Atheism a Religion", because you know full well that Atheists are going to respond to them. And you get to feel superior somehow because you know you got a few Atheists angry. Well guess what? Most of the people you are so disgusted with are already angry enough without being asked moronic questions, so of course they're going to give moronic answers. When you actually want to engage in a real dialogue with Atheists about religion and belief, try asking a more mature question. You'll be surprised at the maturity that answers it.
But Timur, I was trying to prove that such responses are not the only ones you get, hence my response... hence why I bothered to write a whole new post to address it. That is not parroting. It's a legitimate effort to reach out to you and get you to understand that we're not all hateful creeps. But that wasn't what you wanted, was it? Too unpredictable for you?
Oh, and irony is getting the opposite from what you expect, so this post is irony, not predictability.

You do that and next thing You know all the religious fanatics will be wanting Their own sites. Imagine a Muslim site and a Catholic site and a Episcopalian site and a Jewish site and on and on and on. Remember many of these persons are marginally insane and can go totally weirdo at any moment. Now You want to give these weirdo's a Soap Box for their rants and other nonsense? Listen to Me Some things are better left alone So don't start with any more of these questions. UNDERSTAND?????

I'm just saying that you can vary your answers once in a while. It does nothing for your cause to sound like a parrot. And saying "well we are being predictable because Christians are being predictable" is not really much of an argument.
Yes, Christians can be predictable as well but just because somebody else is being an idiot doesn't automatically excuse you from being one. After all aren't you guys the ones saying that Christians are "oh so dogmatic"...well, irony is a b*tch, ain't it?

Atheists are predictable because we are going to say that God doesn't exist, that's why we are atheists. If God doesn't exist(and he doesn't)we will always say the same thing. Like if you ask us what colour the sun is, our answer we will always be predictable as yellow is the truth, jut like God doesn't exist is the truth.

You are correct. Some. do ask us Atheist questions, that are obviously repetitive and may be annoying. They fail to do any research before asking pertinent questions, with some measure intelligent inquiry. I ignore most of them. Let them show their ignorance.

Some atheists are predictable. Others are not. You can say the same thing about any demographic.

yet, religious people have not come up with a counter argument to our "predictable" responses
ex: "is bald a hair color"

I agree they ask too many idiotic questions, and they expect intelligent well thought out answers. By the way what is RAmen? I know it's a type of soup, but why add it in with your post? Someone e-mail me the answer please.
