RE: No rational case for God = increasingly desperate attacks on atheists

(July 10, 2014 at 9:58 am)Jenny A Wrote: He tells this little anecdote in the first chapter:

Quote:After [a lecture]. I was confronted by a very angry young man. The lecture had not been particularly remarkable. I had simply demonstrated, by rigorous use of scientific, historical and philosophical arguments, that Dawkins's intellectual case against God didn't stand up to critical examination. But this man was angry--in fact, I would say he was furious. Why? Because, he told me, I had "destroyed his faith." His atheism rested on the authority of Richard Dawkins, and I had totally undermined his faith. He would have to go away and rethink everything. How dare I do such a thing!
(Italics in the original)

I'm not sure I believe in this angry young man.

While I may question if this particular "angry young man" is real, I have no doubt there are some out there that take their atheism as a matter of faith because Dawkins (or some other prominent atheist) says so. There are stupid people everywhere.
