What meaning does love have to an atheist?

That's called tu quoque,a common logical fallacy,it does not address my comment,although it implicitly confirms my assessment.

I have never denied being an arrogant and intolerant old fart who does not suffer fools. However, that does not change or justify your behaviour.

Quote:Tu quoque (pronounced /tjuːˈkwoʊkwɛ/,[1] from Latin for "You, too" or "You, also") is a Latin term that describes a kind of logical fallacy. A tu quoque argument attempts to discredit the opponent's position by asserting his failure to act consistently in accordance with that position; it attempts to show that a criticism or objection applies equally to the person making it. It is considered an ad hominem argument, since it focuses on the party itself, rather than its positions.[2]
