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

With moons and cheese we pretty much know what's being talked about. With gods, not so much. So the two situations are light years apart. The possibility that something as large as the moon might actually consist of a processed dairy product is ridiculous on the face of it. To suggest that every theist believes something equally ridiculous is too black and white. You're tossing out the more worthy forms of belief by painting them with the same brush.
Rejecting fundy gods is easy. So choosing the example of a rapturing Jesus is hyperbole. It is choosing a version of god that is over the top and thus easily dismissed. Not every theist is going to have such easily dismissed beliefs.
