I don't know whether you're being intentionally thick, misunderstood what I meant, or arguing for the sake of arguing. Like I said, people don't look down upon atheists because of the good deeds we do. They look down upon us because of what a few among the majority do. The same thing can be observed with Muslims. Some people think all middle eastern people are Muslim terrorists because they see a few Muslims doing terrorist acts and think the rest hold the same beliefs. No where in my argument do I say that I support this line of thinking, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.
The fact that people hear the stupid things atheists say and think all atheists believe the same thing justifies my claim. You can claim that the line of thinking is irrational all you want, but sadly your opinion doesn't change how some people in the world think.
Way to go from one childish act to another. This is the strawman of all strawman. I don't think you could have misrepresented my position any more, and to do it in a spot where I can't refute is cowardly.

Quote:Irrational behavior does not invalidate rational processes - it merely means that one is irrational. And assigning blame and responsibility through the actions of irrationality is illogical, irrational and a failure on the part of a rational being.
