Just cuz it's cool.

Does then the phrase: "The number defined by a) above." (character count ~25) also refer to that same number and thereby define that smallest integer in even fewer characters, not 57, but 25?  Or is the character count now 82 and is no longer less than 60?
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh

And no atmosphere, since the requirements aren't yet met in Genesis. Which leads to a godmosphere, since he supposedly breathed everything into existence. At least he did a lot of mumbo jumbo talking, which is kind of hard, if there's no environment to carry the voice.

No atmosphere. This reminds me of something.

No completely beyond the environment. There is no environment.

But when the laughter dies down, you're left with a troubling realization: There actually is a huge pool of people on this planet who call themselves atheists and post on the internet, but are less familiar with theism than toddlers with the inside of a quantum mechanics textbook.

Where does one go for actually informed atheistic critiques of religion? I'm feeling my brain atrophy after reading some of the threads here.

Yes, I think you are correct. The ignorance and out-right ill-will is astonishing. And I say this even with many of the former believers here in mind.

At the same time, I've noted some real howlers from believers, also, so both sides have issues that need to be addressed - but won't, I suspect, due to a lack of interest in genuine dialogue.

When theists are willing to define core beliefs, I'll be willing to pay attention to whether atheists understand them. Unless you do, why should I bother? I know what particular theists have told me, and what I've been taught in classes and books. They don't agree. Either put up some universal beliefs (good luck with that one), your own beliefs, or what you think are self evident beliefs, or shut up. I have no interest in guessing what of the morass of theist beliefs you happen to consider important. correct, or self eviedent.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

I like how atheists get accused of ill will, when theists are the ones fantasizing about the other side burning in hell for all eternity for having a different opinion from them.

Exactly

And these people don't realise that, in this world, absolutely nothing will happen to you if atheists don't agree with your religion. Meanwhile, there are still several countries where apostasy is punishable by death, and many more where there is still a deep stigma around atheism. "Secularism" is increasingly becoming more and more of dirty word as well, people don't see it as progressive policy like they did before.
"Adulthood is like looking both ways before you cross the road, and then getting hit by an airplane"  - sarcasm_only

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable."
