Militant Atheists seek to insult and belittle religious people who find their religion above all else to be logical, if they did not find their belief to be logical they would not believe in it. This form of logic is not dependent on evidence but rather it is a matter of faith. Further more you will never be able to argue against someone and win that argument, you will never be able to prove something for someone but they must prove it for themselves. In essence every atheist who is trying to disprove religion is wasting their time when they should be focusing more on the political agenda of their dominions... at least if they truly wanted to stop mass suffering on a global scale. All it achieves to do is create friction in a society where we should be living as a family, together, and inseparable. Instead we divide ourselves, by ethnicity, by political ideologies, by wealth, and by spiritual beliefs. It is from this division that we are so easily taken advantage of, and people like Richard Dawkins only seek to make the rift between us and our family deeper even if they themselves do not realize it. People in time will prove themselves wrong, making this whole militant atheism campaign a waste of time and if not a distraction and a scapegoat for governments to use to avert the eyes of the public from their political dealings.
I am not sure if this message will reach any of you, atheists in my experience are no better than theists when it comes to rationality. All they managed to do was fit two pieces of a puzzle together in a puzzle that has over a million pieces. There is so much to learn in this life we can ill afford to waste time in it.
So please reconsider your stance on religion.
Did you lurk a bit before concluding this was an important message to deliver here?
Are you the type of atheist you're ranting about? I'd think you'd be the number one experience for 'how atheists are' if you don't believe in any supernatural deities, wouldn't you?
Please consider an intro thread and maybe converse with us a bit before starting new threads. And consider more concise OPs, If I were to adequately address yours, I'd have to break it into several chunks, each one of which would have made a decent OP, but in combination could quickly become unwieldy if you're here to discuss instead of just assert.
I'll address this bit, though: "I am not sure if this message will reach any of you, atheists in my experience are no better than theists when it comes to rationality." In the trade, this is known as 'poisoning the well', along the lines of 'that's my stance on the events in question, and in my experience, anyone who disagrees with me is a racist'.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
