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
Edit: BTW, the 'Courtier's Reply' objection could be easily refuted by presenting an actual substantive argument, just as the courtier could just produce an article of the emperor's clothing, if it were real. Not 'Aquinas wrote hundreds of pages explaining why the cause of the universe must be an intelligent all-powerful being', but 'here is his proof that the cause of the universe must be an intelligent, all-powerful being'. Congrats on having a sophisticated concept of God, but there's still no good reason to think that what you've come up with is real. If you know of such a reason, just present it.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
