Disagree, sorry.
Yes, of course, logic is the start of it and must be the core of any belief system that I would support. But most folk are far more interested and responsive to emotion than they are to logic. You ignore the power of emotion at your peril. For most folks emotion is the core of the human condition, the real force in their lives, and so it must be answered to. In depth, too - not mere lip service.

I see you describe yourself as a "godless heathen". Interesting concept.
Seriously, how does all this stuff about "people harping on about atheists being 'militant' or 'evangalistic'" apply to anything posted by me?
