Fanatics of all sorts

Arguments would be able to be settled much easier if you didn't use fanatics as your base case for religious/anti-religious injustices. Not every Christian is condemning you to hell if you don't believe what they believe, not every Muslim is bombing your house, not every atheist hates you because you have a religion.

I just hope people can realize this so they can talk about religion in a more sensible manner.

I get along fine with Christians in real life. Two live with me, and I have one for a girlfriend. I don't know if this is because people on internet forums have more extreme views, or if it's because the majority on this forum are american, or what (no offense to americans).

Perhaps. I wouldn't say that I become a fanatic online, though I use a lot less tact.

That all makes a lot of sense psychologically. There are no consequences for what you say on the Internet (at least not to the same degree if you were to say the same things to people you knew) so people tend to exagerrate their positions.

I am much more fanatic here then in real life.
I mean, in real life I have a lots of religious friends and a few american friends and we get along well.
Here I keep saying how all the religous people are dumb and how americans deserve death because they are bloodthirsty bastards.
So hey, don´t hate me, I am just an internet fanatic, no a real fanatic.

So, this is me, in my "torture the people" nation. I hate when I don´t log out first. I mean, Terrori is a cool name for a psycothic nation, but americans must get a little offended by it in a forum. So, I don´t support terrorism... I say I do, but I just say it because it´s on the internet, I live in Brasil and I doubt you will come here to kick me in the balls for saying I support terrorism. So, again, don´t hate me, I´m just an evil person.
