The little shadow that runs through the grass

a) [removed, because this was obnoxious and I apologize]

b) Atheists don’t get why we feel the need to shout that there’s a God from the rooftops.

c) A tone argument is an argument used in discussions, sometimes by Concern trolls and sometimes as a Derailment, in which it is suggested that feminists would be more successful if only they expressed themselves in a more pleasant tone.

d) I admit that the second part, with the implications that all believers are puritanical and repressed and fun-hating—or worse, hateful—gets up my nose. But that’s not discrimination or oppression or prejudice: it may be mistaken or rude, but it’s not the same thing atheists have faced by a long shot. We need to go a long, long, long way in evening the playing field before anything like this can be intolerance on the same level.
