One thing I find encouraging on here!
RE: One thing I find encouraging on here!
Quote:Exactly, I am pointing out the fact that atheists engage in contradictory behavior. They claim that they know that God does not exist but then exercise hatred for Him. Are you saying it’s not possible for atheists to behave in a manner that is contradictory? Why not?

1) Atheists as a whole do not claim to "know" god doesn't exist. A subset do, but the majority (at least on here) don't.

2) I, an atheist, do not harbour any hate for any god. Counterexample disproves your claim.

Sounds like you are mixing up "hating god" and hating the idea of a god (in the examples you wrote, the judeo-christian god) - in the Dawkins quote, he says "most unpleasant character in all of fiction".

Quote: Because I know they do not exist, so why waste my time?

Prove they don't exist.
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. - J.R.R Tolkien
