Why atheism is irrational

[LastPoet]

I am not sure what happened here.

Simple, you probably replied to Wateverist post by mistake, and whateverist thought you were talking to him.

here is the post you quoted:

A lot of us point to the supposed intelligence of atheists, but what I've come to realize is that most of us have become atheists at quite a young age. Too young, honestly, to have a full grasp of our logical faculties or the world around us. Age 13 or 14 is simply not when your mind is fully developed. This includes the vast majority of atheist intellectuals who become atheists at a young age and just engage in confirmation bias throughout their academic careers.

I've said it before: it doesn't take a genius to be an atheist and neither will it prevent you from being an idiot. Atheists are just people without a whole lot in common aside from the lack of religious belief.

As for the age at which folk become atheists, I hope you do realize how very much younger most of the religious are when they are indoctrinated as theists?

Atheists whine. A lot. If you spend time on internet forums, you notice 98% of their time is spent hating Christians and whining about Christianity. For a "rational", "skeptical" group of people, such lack of rationality is alarmingly hypocritical.

About matters of the intellect, atheists are very superficially educated. They have a basic foundation down "EVOLUTION RULZ, GOD SUX HAHA I HAVE BIBEL VURSES THAT SUX LOL" but fundamental nuances are often glossed over or missed because their interest is not in knowing things, but in confirming what they want to be true.

If you stop to realize that all you say applies to many people generally and that people is all atheists really are, you might not be so surprised to realize we take all kinds.

When I started off as a skeptic, I started with a sense of intimidation. I was scared of all the intellectuals. Now that I'm a little older, a little smarter, a little more educated....I feel sorry for them.

You've come a long way, Vinnie. You've gone from being intimidated to trying to intimidate. But is that really progress? Also, why do you have a picture of John Searle as your avatar?

That one is from whateverist, it was reasonable for him to assume your reply was towards him. In essence a misscommunication.
