Exposing the Intellectual Bankruptcy of Atheists Criticizing Religion

He seems to not know the difference between him having an opinion, and that opinion being true.

For example, instead of saying, "In my opinion, 99% of the atheists here make bad arguments" or "It seems to me most atheists make bad arguments", we get the assertion of fact "99% of atheists here make bad arguments".

And it's been implied that his interpretation of the point of the article must be the correct one, and if I come to any other conclusion, I am wrong. I'm not even worthy of him/her sharing that information with me, to enlighten me.

Maybe he/she should start owning opinions and beliefs, and drop the attitude. People will never learn anything if they never consider they may actually be wrong sometimes.

EXACTLY, robvalue!!  Thank you.

I see a lot of statements from Delicate (and even in the posted article) that criticize without offering clear examples.  Delicate:  examples please!

But at least understand that everyone here knows that there have been some really good arguments made here (by robvalue, RocketSurgeon, -- goodwithoutgod, Min, abaris, as well as quite a few others) and there have been many which abandoned civilized debate and just devolved into name-calling and taunts.  I am guilty of the latter.  

So if you choose an example of a "bad argument", please choose one where the poster is sticking to respected sources and civilized discourse.
