Does anyone else find it a little strange that the evil atheist professor, making a little diatribe to show how evil he is, starts referencing attributes of the christian god?
Well, sure, because the truly evil thing we are guilty of is not actually disbelieving in god, but wanting to be god ourselves. It's not the lack of evidence that makes us atheists. It's our enormous, prideful egos and our desire to be masters of our own destiny that does it.
Sorbo is a straw-atheist.
