And I thought April was supposed to be intelligent, I guess I heard
wrong. It sure is funny that you people can cuss us out, call us
stupid and ignorant and that is hunky dory, but if we return the
favor by calling one of your stupid, well....that's the unpardonable
sin isn't it?

No. There is a world of difference between statements like "Jerry is
stupid" (or "Farrell is stupid" for that matter) both of which are
reasonable
statements (if not necessarily true) . I believe the original
comment was along the lines of "All Atheists are Stupid". (Of course,
the remark "all inerrantists/xians etc. are all stupid" is just as wrong).
You can't really complain about "All Preachers are money grabbing"
(not true either) and then go on and say "all atheists are stupid", it is
just as bad a logical flaw.
You have a real problem with the diffence between applicability of
descriptions to one, some and all, don't you ?
