When Atheists Can't Think Episode 1: No Evidence for God?

Assuming your conclusion. No gods are required fr morality to be extant.

1) The atheists on this forum are, largely, deeply anti-intellectual and uninterested in developing their critical thinking. My attempts to engage rationally was initially completely or predominantly unprofitable.

No, the anti-theism here is rationally-based. The contempt, hatred, and "rage" you feel is directed against religion, not theism; for while theists here are welcomed so long as they're thoughtful, even those welcome theists feel the sting when they try to defend their organized religion.

You'd do well to learn the difference.

... says the guy who assumes god exists and goes from there. When, on this forum, have you questioned your assumptions? Let us have a link to that post, so that we may see your example of intellectual honesty.

What's that? You have none? Fuck me, that is startling.

lol, a Christian complaining about confirmation bias?

Tired neurons, eh? Put ten on break, and let the other ten take over.
