They know deep down they don't have the goods to demonstrate that any of their horseshit is true, so they resort to painting atheists with the same brush as themselves to suggest a false equivalency. It must suck to have a faith system that practically requires dishonesty.
"I know you are, but what am I?" didn't cut it on the playground. It doesn't work any better here.
Yep I agree, but it is also why I warn atheists not to go around saying "When we become the majority(which may or may not happen) we will treat you better".
A label does not automatically determine if the individual will be violent or non violent, cruel or compassionate. We still are ultimately the same species. I only agree that religion takes our human behaviors, both good and bad, and distorts them into a comic book battle between Superman vs Lex Luther.
Atheist are not super human either, we don't have magic powers or special privilege.
