It's not even that we don't agree with you, it's that we've proven you wrong and pointed out that your entire premise (atheism being a belief) is wrong and we've pointed out why this is. You might accept that we don't agree with you, but it's quite apparent that you're either unwilling or unable to defend any legitimate points you may have made in this discussion and made yourself out to be some sort of moron in the process since apparently the best way you can make us look foolish is by hurling pointless and gratuitous insults at us.
I hope you realise by now that any actual discussion has died out when you refused to answer any criticisms and rebuttals of your points with anything but further insults considering that, as Epimethean pointed out, most of us are simply here at this point for the entertainment value you provide us since this pathetic showing is apparently the best you can do.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
