Are Atheists using Intellectually Dishonest Arguments?

Sometimes. But not usually. Usually that's more of a theist thing.

And p.s. Calling an imaginary friend an imaginary friend is not intellectually dishonest. Oh, he's your father and not your friend? Okay well, in that case, calling an imaginary daddy an imaginary daddy, is not intellectually dishonest. Oh the father thing is just a metaphor and he's your creator? Okay, well, in that case.... calling an imaginary creator an imaginary creator.... is not intellectually dishonest.

Same fucking difference. Theism is already childish. And calling a spade a spade is the opposite of intellectual dishonesty. It's intellectual honesty at its finest and most direct.

But calling a spade a spade, is something theists are less likely to do, especially the apologist types who claim atheists are being intellectually dishonest even when they're not... and the theists just don't like the demeaning labels used against theism, even when said labels fit perfectly and are exactly as demeaning as they should be.

I tell it like it is. How's that intellectual honesty for ya, eh?
