As for the rest of you, nothing actually prevents you from pertinent response

Nothing actually prevented you from a short polite intoduction, some simple interaction - followed by a brief explanation of your aims and wishes - leading to your well-meaning petition.
But no, lets charge staight in - bang! - look at me - sign this!
Had you done a bit of research, you may have worked out how this place rolls - but I guess you'll learn the slightly harder way.
Still only 3 sigs?

First of all, in any case, my initial post was entirely pertinent, not SPAM, and you flamed me. So, apologize. Secondly, consciousness from the very moment of conception has indeed been claimed explicitly. Do your research. Besides, otherwise, what else can be implied or inferred? In the alternative, there is the fall back to essentialism, the argument from potential, which still amounts to much the same thing.

Still, if you are convinced that there is no point in calling out such flagrant question begging, then by all means, lend all of your support to the mainstream of pro-choice healthcare reform, and join in skirting the issue and pretending at all to respect outrageous irrational supernatural claim as any grounds for legislation in an impartial secular nation.

Uh... Aaron? Maybe you could ask politely? People on this forum don't take demands very well, especially from people WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. So calm the fuck down and apologize. Please.

I have been straightforward after being treated with abuse. All that I have demanded at all, and in all unforceful civility, was a well deserved apology for entirely undeserved abuse. All that I have done is to seek support for an atheist cause on what I had I had mistakenly perceived to be an atheist forum. (But then, that's hardly my fault, given the deliberately ambiguous title of the forum: Flaming Atheists, as would be understood to mean: strident non-believers, but actually meaning: abusive theistic apologism targeted against infidels. Real cute!) What exactly, then, is it that you are asking me to apologize for?

There's no such thing as an "atheist cause." Atheism isn't a movement, or even a worldview, with common goals and aspirations -- or with common anything, other than the lack of a certain belief. You don't have to apologize for making that rookie mistake, but you might learn something from it and grow. You're welcome.
