What atheism is REALLY all about

If only Fulton J Sheen were alive today.

He was sort of the "Catholic Billy Graham." A major Catholic preacher of the 1950s and 60s. 

He seems to sum up you atheists really well and really "hits the nail on the head" in describing how you guys really are just angry/scared of God at some level!

Well.. is he right....or IS HE RIGHT?

For being an old man he is kind of a dashing rogue isn't he? Sort of like clark gable meets count chocula!

Hello TrueChristian
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Make sure not to just call it out but to report it.

I'm fairly sure I've been told atheism is about eating babies and stealing the half tubs from all the virgin Mary statues.

Oh, you recognize a former handle. This should be fun.

I've known some atheists who were angry with apologists, especially those who are condescending about it. In fact that can be me sometimes. But no atheist I know gives a rat's ass about 'god'. Try again?

And there it is. The real personality behind the fake account.

I personally think you atheists should be put into barbed wire camps far away from civilized folk.

You'd like it there, in Kansas or perhaps Utah.

You'd get to be around only atheists and work on fun projects with them.

If we provide booze, dunking donuts and cookies and ice cream galore you won't even mind

So much for the Sister Act, right?
