If you don't have a negative attitude toward theistic beliefs too, then I have to ask what are you here for as an atheist (or for that matter, how can you even be an atheist)? I don't hate CL, nor do I hate anyone just for sharing her beliefs or similar beliefs. But she opened up a can of worms by starting this thread with her OP, and we were entitled to respond as we saw it.
Seriously, you really aren't doing CL, nor this forum any good by protecting her against criticism when she has it coming!
I'm not a nothing-but atheist but I don't believe in an external god, much less an omni-anything god. In my own thinking I don't make any use of the notion of a god but I'm flexible enough in my thinking to attach meaning to such a notion and give the bible an interesting allegorical reading as well.
You seem to think we are in some drastic war with a zombie horde intent on bringing down civilization. I don't count myself as part of any community which thinks this way. Lets just say that being an atheist is a very, very provisional thing for me entirely dependent upon the definition of 'god' .. and just way down on the list of attributes I think define me.
Fair enough. But I hope you will seriously consider allowing everyone to argue their own position, or be called out when they make one which they cannot make a valid case for. That's everyone here, including those who are cute and nice. I can see that CL is still following this thread.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
