Hatred toward atheists

I don’t usually link to items on other sites, but this vehemently anti-atheist letter to the editor (reported by the Friends of Irony blog) made me steamed — not just because of how awful it is, but because there are actually quite a few people who seem to feel this way. Read the letter. Update: [...]

Hello to the site host and his dedicated readers. I have taken an interest in your site and wanted to contribute some. After browsing through some of your posts and other “atheist” blogs (you’ll understand the quotations later), I thought it may be appropriate to help define the terms by which many of these debates, [...]

I would hardly expect any competent scientist to agree with you regarding the simplicity of the universe. And since you confess inadequacy in biophysics and biochemistry, you may want to prepare yourself better for a discussion of these topics which are at the base of your being able to discourse at all. You may also [...]

You may want to read your paragraph and digest what it says: ”You ask how an infinite number of universes was originally created. The whole point of there being an infinite string of universes is that they were not created. Something has to be infinite. You ask what “was the cause of the rest” after [...]

In reading your replies, I cannot make out your belief system or your method of reasoning. how do you think the universe occured? how do you think the universe could exist if there was not certainty in physical systems? if you are aware of the structure of the universe, where could a heaven be located? [...]

I do not understand why someone would declare themself an atheist, since no one can prove or disprove the declaration. I think people just don’t believe in the man-made concept of God and the practice of man-made religion. If you want to say there is no place called Heaven with an old bearded man on [...]

I have heard the “there is more than one type of atheist” argument before from people who appear desperate to get me into their demographic, but I have yet to hear a compelling argument for it. You are guilty of parsing on a bushian level when you characterize me as an “I see no reason [...]

I can give you a source that will answer all of what you’re looking for and I can guarantee that you can’t read it from cover to cover and not believe. Its called the BIBLE. And don’t try to tell me you already have, because I know you’re lying. My home library has nearly 100 [...]

I’m unable to accept atheism for the same reason I’m unable to accept theism; they are both faith-based systems; they both require belief in the absence of proof. There is not proof that there is a god, but there is also not proof there is not one. Both systems lack the intellectual courage to say [...]

First I think it’s important that we define terms here. Atheism is disbelief in or denial of the existence of God or gods, or the doctrine that there is no God or gods [American Heritage Dictionary]. So, I do not assume that atheists deny the existence god(s), I know it. It is evidential fact. The [...]
