Although I also find Maccabbe's claims to be extremely unreasonable and so on and may occasionally write with some hostility in the heat of the debate, I don't particularly appreciate posts and comments which only ridicule. Despite how you feel about it, Maccabbe is posting about his religious beliefs which is roughly on topic. Although I don't agree with what he writes or the way he argues, I do prefer it if people who share his world view can post about it here so we can have a somewhat serious discussion without it degenerating into only simple ridicule where no proper arguments are made.
So, if you're not posting to add to the discussion, but only to join the mob in ridiculing a religious poster, then I think you should reconsider before clicking the submit button. This is a discussion thread and if you think arguments truly are idiotic, then it should be easy for you to counter them with reason.
