Same response. Great minds and all...
heatiosrs, it seems like maybe you need to take a little time for self reflection. Your response to Aractus sort of paints you as a hypocrite, you are literally responding the exact same way that you are accusing your friend of.
Maybe the reason that you don't have that many friends IRL has more to do with you or your personality, and less to do with your atheism? I am trying to say that in the nicest way possible--I am not trying to attack you--but there really is no easy way to say it. Whether you intend it or not, you are very combative and abrasive. Those qualities are very off putting. It seems that you like to argue, and maybe the answer is to channel that energy into honing that skill. Take some debate classes, some formal logic classes. You skip right to the ad hominem when people don't agree with your perception, but you have to allow people to be individuals. Debating people is not about making them adopt your view.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
