Angry Atheists and Anti-Theists

[vulcanlogician]

Gosh, I've never ever seen an angry theist. Never had one damn me to hell, tell me I'm ruining my/families salvation, that I'm fucked up in the head, or that I would be better off dead. Nope, all theists only ever say good things to me.

Edit: A side note, you might run into atheists with less tolerance when it's perceived that there may be a hidden agenda or motive.

Ad Hominem. The cheapest and most used fallacy...
Stop defeating ur own claim... Watch and Learn if u can follow logic...

(Sigh.) Wyzas was being sarcastic... not insulting. You may find his sarcasm insulting, but that doesn't make it an insult.

And here's another distinction you might want to make yourself aware of: there is a difference between an insult and an ad hominem. An insult is: "You smell like poop." An ad hominem is: "You smell like poop, therefore your idea is incorrect." Learn the difference.

Intersting and again varying responses.
Some people justify it. Others claim its not everyone. Some are angry that im questioning their anger.

HOW DARE YOU QUESTION MY ANGER!!!

Eventually, emotions eased and logic prevailed. My parents aren't intentionally feeding lies to me. They were taught this and don't know any better. I eventually extended this logic to the ordinary people who are theists. I eventually came to the conclusion that i cannot reject the possibility of some kind of God or creator and vowed to only deal in facts, knowledge and truth instead of feelings and beliefs.

You had a period of genuine reflection. That's good. But it doesn't necessarily equate to embracing logic. One needn't turn away from one's emotional self in order to become logical. People are angry at religion for good reason. Others are angry at religion for stupid reasons. Logic helps one discern good reasoning from bad reasoning. In no way is logic an abolition of emotion. It is merely the ability to separate one's emotional predisposition from one's view of the truth.

The dislike of Christianity is well-known and unjustifyably aggressive. The preaching of the atheist belief as being superior to other traditional beliefs lacks credability. Its a reactionary position without foundation, taken only to oppose religion. Atheists don't believe there are gods but also don't believe there are no Gods apparently. This is blatent hypocracy to the most extreme.

You may want to read thinkers like Leo Tolstoy or Søren Kierkegaard. These two guys disliked and were angered by Christianity and yet they themselves were Christians. These two thinkers didn't oppose religion. Yet they saw "Christianity" as it was practiced in their day to be entirely farcical. If two Christians are entitled to have such opinions about Christianity, aren't atheists also entitled to have similar opinions... especially concerning a ubiquitous cultural phenomenon which affects their lives?
