re amusing atheists and agnostics chris faehl writes many atheists do not mock the concept of a god they are shocked that so many theists have fallen to such a low level that they actually believe in a god you accuse all atheists of being part of a conspiracy again without evidence rule condescending to the population at large i e theists will not win many people to your faith anytime soon it only ruins your credibility fallacy atheism is a faith lo i hear the faq beckoning once again wonderful rule deleted you re correct you didn t say anything about a conspiracy correction hard atheism is a faith rule don t mix apples with oranges how can you say that the extermination by the mongols was worse than stalin khan conquered people unsympathetic to his cause that was atrocious but stalin killed millions of his own people who loved and worshipped him and his atheist state how can anyone be worse than that i will not explain this to you again stalin did nothing in the name of atheism whethe he was or was not an atheist is irrelevant get a grip man the stalin example was brought up not as an indictment of atheism but merely as another example of how people will kill others under any name that s fit for the occasion rule if you rely on evidence state it we re waiting as opposed to relying on a bunch of black ink on some crumbling old paper atheism has to prove nothing to you or anyone else it is the burden of dogmatic religious bullshit to provide their evidence which we might you be referring to and how long are you going to wait so hard atheism has nothing to prove then how does it justify that god does not exist i know there s the faq etc but guess what if those justifications were so compelling why aren t people flocking to hard atheism they re not and they won t i for one will discourage people from hard atheism by pointing out those very sources as reliable statements on hard atheism second what makes you think i m defending any given religion i m merely recognizing hard atheism for what it is a faith and yes by we i am referring to every reader of the post where is the evidence that the poster stated that he relied upon oh yes though i m not a theist i can say safely that by definition many theists are not arrogant since they boast about something outside themselves namely a god or gods so in principle it s hard to see how theists are necessarily arrogant because they say such and such is absolutely unalterably true because my dogma says it is true i am not prepared to issue blanket statements indicting all theists of arrogance as you are wont to do with atheists bzzt by virtue of your innocent little pronoun they you ve just issued a blanket statement at least i will apologize by qualifying my original statement with hard atheist in place of atheist would you call john the baptist arrogant who boasted of one greater than he that s what many christians do today how is that in itself arrogant i m not worthy only seriously misinformed with your sophisticated put down of they the theists your serious misinformation shines through bake timmons iii there s nothing higher stronger more wholesome and more useful in life than some good memory alyosha in brothers karamazov dostoevsky
