Is it? Can you quote an example of this from a recent conversation or are you projecting as a kind of defense mechanism?

Obvious whose mentality is really on display

Here we go again.
Not to complain, I don’t really care what anyone does in this thread, but just for information, I didn’t do this to start another feud. It was just a thought I wanted to share with some people. I thought it might mean something to someone.
It does, as mentioned earlier. Why are you like that?

Is that a rhetorical question? If not, why am I like what? Do you mean, why am I like The Spaghetti Monster, or what? Is it something like “Have you stopped beating your wife?”

Oh! Do you mean, why don’t I do everything right all the time? Sorry. That’s one of my bad habits that have been hard for me to break.
Regarding @Deeje saying Christians accused of believing in fairy tales....
@Subduction Zone:
"Your side does not even have a hypothesis. Actually there are several hypotheses of abiogenesis describing different steps in the process. There is no overarching theory of abiogenesis yet so the work is still hypothetical. **That still beats a fairy tale hands down.**
Is that what you asked for? There are more I can find.

Couldn't have said it better myself.Its that "how could you morons believe in such fairy-tales" mentality. We are the educated ones and we know all about what science teaches....shame that the science is full of their own fairy-tales.
Pick your teacher...pick your fairy-tale.
Taking the point-scoring out of it, a key decision and driver in life is how we identify teachers (in the broad sense). I've never been in favour of conflating one thing with another purely because all things have flaws. Sure, everything is grey, but the shade varies greatly.
Anyways....know you weren't literally serious, just making a point. Couldn't help adding my own though!

The fairy tale that you believe in is the creationist one. That comment was not about a general belief in gods. You should have got that from the context of the conversation.

I’ll try again. Was it a serious question? If it was, I honestly don’t know what you were referring to. Why am I like what?
ETA: I’ve gone over it at least five times now, and I still can’t figure out what in my behavior you’re referring to.

You wont find any with the main detail, the "morons" bit.
Seems someone cant make a point witjout a fairy tale,
like the phony quote with "moron".
Funny that, with god, bible, angels and all reality
(presumed to be) on the JW side. How would
one account for such a thing?

Its the ones with the science degrees that have their noses in the air...these are the worst. The condescension is palpable. The wannabe's just hang on to their coattails in the hope that you will think that they are smart too......it doesn't work. Once you undo their arguments at grass roots level, their house of cards falls in a heap. It is not until you see how much suggestion features in evolutionary thinking that you realize that this is a monumental edifice with absolutely no solid foundation. Those who swallow the lie don't notice that suggestion and inference are not the same as factual evidence. Science takes small amounts of factual evidence and uses them as a springboard to suggest all kinds of things that they cannot prove. If you can't prove something, it isn't a fact...it is a belief. So to me science is a belief system based on on real evidence, and yet scientists have the temerity to accuse us ID proponents of believing fantasy....fairy-tales. Science actually has more than we do.

Not really - where is the bit where believers are accused of being "morons", where is the bit where the poster trumpets his education and claims to "know everything that science teaches"?
