Okay, this should be fun: Lion, since you're so sure this is a motivating factor for people, please supply a single atheist, anti-theist, whatever, who has ever seriously used this as a reason for their position. Just one. Oh, and you can't use christian quotations, because you guys are- as you so aptly demonstrate- full of shit. Go to the horse's mouth.
Or you can just admit that you're lying. Failure to supply an actual source will be considered tacit admission!

Quote:It's the classic two rules of atheism a-la Christopher Hitchens and others.
Rule 1. There's no God.
Rule 2. If there is a God, I hate Him.
The man is now quoting Eric Hovind. Excuse me while I clean up the vomit.
Quote:Atheist counter-apologists go berserk trying to rail against intelligent design theory and the Kalam Cosmological Argument and fine-tuning etc. Why? These aren't arguments for ANY particular religious moral stance let alone a Christian worldview. They are virtually completely SECULAR. And yet the atheist can't stand the prospect that there may be a bigger picture with an intentional Higher Cause having control or power beyond the mundane terrestrial existence of the human atheist.
Please, do tell us where you obtained your telepathy, that allows you to see what we really believe.
Quote:Very telling indeed when an atheist admits that their atheism doesn't preclude the plausibility of extra-terrestrial higher life forms
...BUT JUST DON'T USE THE "G" WORD.
Do you even know what atheism is?
