Quote:Oh well. I'll always keep an eye out for something that might indicate godly presence, but the more I think about it, this really isn't all too convincing.1Cor 1:26 Brothers and sisters, God chose you to be his. Think about that! Not many of you were wise in the way the world judges wisdom. Not many of you had great influence, and not many of you came from important families. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. He chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 And God chose what the world thinks is not important—what the world hates and thinks is nothing. He chose these to destroy what the world thinks is important. 29 God did this so that no one can stand before him and boast about anything. 30 It is God who has made you part of Christ Jesus. And Christ has become for us wisdom from God. He is the reason we are right with God and pure enough to be in his presence. Christ is the one who set us free from sin. 31 So, as the Scriptures say, “Whoever boasts should boast only about the Lord.”[d]
...Seems to me it's all par for the course.

Do you really want to establish a precedent for blanket name calling here, Drich?
did you read the definations of those two words? Do they fit anyone who insists on calling themselves Atheists?
If I wanted to just name call, don't you think I would have included some of your screen names, and started to call some of you out? What I have done is shine a little light on the work that is done under the title of atheism. Not all of it fits, I have freely shared information that allows the indivisual to make up his own mind as to who's works are atheistic in nature or maybe Miso/dystheistic..
One would think that a 'true thinker ' would not bock at hard facts and evidence that promotes Actual Independant thought.
