My love for my family is deep and strong, your implication was that some fairy tale bollocks would somehow make it stronger, it could not.

Precisely why I didn't bother responding to his bullshit. I love my wife, my son, and countless others (including pets) immensely. I feel the emotion known as love so deeply that I can actually understand how the gullible and the ignorant can mistakenly believe in the soul.

It is nothing but trollish hyperbole to suggest that an 'atheist' is incapable of love.
