What do Theists Think About Atheists?

[Whateverist]

Others are intellectual, and too smart for their own good. They think if they can't measure itor sense it or decide it it's not there. So they deny god on an intellectual basis. I'm so smart I won't be fooled by the deity fallacy! Hahaha. Look at me,I'm enlightened. Then they like to look down on any card carrying Christian.iwish they could engage one of the thousands of intellectually superior theologians and religious we have today. Iwish they could have engaged pope John Paul the great. Or Benedict. Take a visit to fr. Robert Barron. Or tweet him. Email Peter kreeft at BC. Or Scott Hahn at Franciscan U.

Oh, hello. Guess I'm just too smart for my own britches, hey?

But I don't hate the church. Hell I photographed quite a few in England and Europe. Very picturesque. The music can be nice. People seem to enjoy the comradery and some do a lot of good through charity. Nothing to hate there.

It is when the religious seek to enforce their moral choices on the general public through secular law that I chafe. If they think their religion gives them inspiration for a legislative improvement I would simply ask that they argue for it on secular grounds.

I certainly don't hate 'god' - whatever that may be. Far from it. When I was a believer I thought he was the greatest. Now - and this may be where my prideful intellect gets in my way - I don't even know what people mean by 'god' anymore. Really. It means lots of different things to lots of different people, but it is an empty signifier to me.

Believe what you will, we all do.
