Exposing the Intellectual Bankruptcy of Atheists Criticizing Religion

Article: The New Philistinism
The New Atheist writers are supremely self-confident in their ability to dispatch opponents with a sarcastic quip or two. And they show no evidence whatsoever of knowing what they are talking about.
Great article. Worth reading to get an idea of what a joke so many atheist clergy are.

The image used in the beginning already proves what a joke the article is to follow.

Most atheists have read the bible, for most of us were raised in religious institutions. Even many atheists never introduced to religion in their lives, except to be taught as the myth it is by their parents, have also read the bible.

I take it you are in the slow learner class, Deli. No one gives a flying fuck what you think.
Oh, and go blow your god out your ass, too.

I find that's a myth. Many atheists like to claim to be ex-Christians, but they don't have even the basic rudimentary knowledge of religion and end up attacking strawmen.
As the rest of the article will illustrate quite amusingly.

See, it's like this. When the first ignorant moron, of the type you know so well because you are one, came uninvited to say stupid idiotic and supercilious things, as you always do, every last atheist, every last one except may be min, were ready to elevate you above the superstitious cesspool you wallow in.
But like pigs the each and every last one of you, yeah, including you, deli, would prefer to continue to wallow in your cesspit. Which is fine, if you go away and wallow in your bible and your church. But no. You insist on keep coming back and tracking shit all over our new carpets.
You see, that's why we lose patience with you.

When faced with a critical analysis of the intellectual bankruptcy, the typical atheist will fail to refute any of the arguments, but will instead fly into a rage because their precious dogma has been trampled upon.
Your response, as expected, is 100% rage, 0% substance.
I'm looking to bring some substance into the discussion. Ideally someone who:
(a) can read
(b) reads the entire article
(c ) refutes it
Here's what the list is looking like right now.
Substantive atheists: 0
Rage atheists: Chuck
Somewhere-in-the-middle: Kitan

If you know what is "critical", you wouldn't have been a Christian.
Btw, it is not rage. It is total contempt devoid of any pity. But that's just me. We atheists are large, and contain multitudes. You should learn to differentiate the large number of distinct types of low regard with which we held hold you.

Why do we need to refute the article? Are you saying either all atheists make bad arguments or no atheists make bad arguments? False dichotomy.
Some atheists make bad arguments. I'm sure everyone here would agree to this.
Again, so what? I'll pick apart bad atheist arguments as much as I would bad theist arguments.

No, it is rage. You're angry. It's okay, come here, let me give you a hug.
We all know there's no substance behind anything you're saying. It's all just anger.
That's okay. It doesn't matter. You just need a hug.
