As promised, here is a little quick start guide I have made up for reveur. This is NOT the definitive work on the subject by any stretch of the imagination, and can be revised as new information comes in, but it's a start.
Here is a little primer on who's who in the zoo:
Agitprop
Agitprops are interlopers from the current events board who have no clue about religion in general and Christianity in particular. They think Jesus spoke middle English with a perfect British accent. They go to the “Christian History” forum because they think all Christians are Republicans, and post anti-Republican rants, particularly about the president. Famous agitprop: TThomasPgh
Angry Ex-Catholics
These are people whose knowledge of theology is so insecure they flunked out of catechism and have been holding it against the rest of the world ever since. They will often cite profound arguments for no longer believing in God, like “I can't believe in a God who wants to be worshipped all the time”. This is a problem for them because they want people to worship them all the time. Famous angry ex-Catholic: Olde Drunk.
Atheist
Atheists as a group are people who hope there is no God. They are usually left leaning Marxist types who don't make any money and want to take what money you earn “to make it fair”. Atheism/Marxism makes that possible. They could possibly be the rudest people on the planet, thinking that it's okay to assault everybody else's personal views while insisting on respect for themselves, and will go so far as to claim you are not a very good Christian, and “advise” your posts if you have the audacity to answer them back.
Famous Atheists: Death of Religion, Bodiam
Christians
Christians are people who believed that a man commonly known as Jesus of Nazareth was the son of the living God, who sacrificed Himself to save all mankind, and that if you accept His sacrifice you will have eternal life. This is not to be confused with what liberals think Christians should be, which are witless, ass kissing doormats, who hand over all their earnings to a wasteful and thieving government, and are only allowed to worship and talk about Jesus when liberals tell them they can.
Famous Christians: T-Willy, Judy from GA.
Liberals
Liberals are hateful, mean spirited, elitist control freaks who hate dissent, science, God, and freedom, and are convinced that the human race can only be saved if it does what the libs tell it to do. Everything they say is politically motivated. Liberals brought you that assault on logic called “political correctness” so they can control what you say. See “agitprop”.
Famous liberals: Awoon, jpntn
Moonbats
Moonbats come in both species, left wing moonbats and right wing moonbats. However, right wing moonbats are rarely seen anymore, so most of the moonbats you will see are left wing moonbats, who are extreme liberals, if you can imagine that.
Famous moonbats: Lakota
New-Agers
New Agers are people who will tell you that there are no absolutes,( and that is absolutely true!) and that everyone's point is valid. Then they will proceed to expound at great length about why they are right about this and you are not. Sometimes they make even less sense than that. One of the things you hear them say fairly often is that they don't believe in organized religion, and their apparent devotion to disorganization is fairly obvious. They will often claim parts of every religion there is, and personify the phrase "If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything."
Famous New-Agers: Lexi
Others
Others are people from other religions with almost no knowledge of Christianity who want to tell you how inadequate Christianity is. Sometimes “others” are real religions, but they are usually self proclaimed “spiritual” people, and what spiritual people do is make up their own religion, that generally has no internal consistency or logic, and pretty much allows them to say or do anything they want, including drug abuse. They might call themselves anything, like “Pagans”, Druids”, and the ever popular “Native American”, but they're usually a Duke's mixture of whatever they have seen that they like. See “New Ager” and “Liberal”.
Famous “other”: Lakota
Pseudo-Christians
Pseudo-Christians are the embodiment of loving the praises of men. They call themselves Christians in one breath then proceed to saw the limb off they are standing on. One of the most glaring examples is the argumernts against intelligent design by people claiming to be Christian.
Although I admit it seems like there isn't much intelligence involved as far as some people are concerned, calling yourself a believer in God then saying that the universe wasn't intelligently designed, other than being logically impossible, is not Biblical. Pseudo-Christians can usually be found on the side of whoever is lining up against mainstream Christianity.
Right-Wing Nuts
Right wing nuts actually believe that life is sacred and abortion should be illegal, that Jesus really did die for you, and that “freedom of religion” and “freedom of speech” mean just that.
Famous right wing nut: Threadkiller
Trolls
Trolls generally have nothing to say and take up a lot of bandwidth saying it.
Famous trolls are Harry Haller, MPA, and Confascist.
