But 'militant' agnostics, like a certain new member whose user name cuts a little close to home, tick me off. Please tell me what it is you think you know about what these god-things are that makes you argue so vociferously against non-belief in them.
I get agnosticism. I don't get anti-atheism. What is that about? Personally I have no more trouble with agnostic theists than I do agnostic atheists. These are my peoples.
Anti-atheist agnostics, like their brethren atheist anti-theists, carry around huge axes to grind. Both talk proudly of reasoned argument and evidence. But both are obviously more animated by emotional bile than any reason they actually own up to. Both are obviously working through issues which cloud their judgment.

been saying it for years fat man. "anti's" is a personality defect. basically a thought process that is "broken" in some mental fashion. all of a sudden you have clarity? cause it "hits close to home now".
"your peeps", that says allot. thus you have a problem with "not your peeps". I guessing that anybody that doesn't stand with your peeps is standing against you. People that are not "anti's" usually pick sides based on information offered and rational analysis of the information. We say things like "you know you are my peep, but on this one I disagree with ya". And If they are "My type" they say "yeah, that's cool. let's go get some beer."
Like you said and you are correct. "Anti-'s" have axes. most anti theist I know have been abused in some way and can't get their butts un-popped. Its standard abused stuff. can't strike the abuser so the victim strike anything related to the abuser. that's studied enough. Anti-atheist, same deal. some axe to grind. We also have a lot of mental illness to go around. Forums are a great place for pretty writers with serious mental issue to get a foot hold. A-la Unabomber types.
humans are an emotional species. some people have trouble clearing emotional debris out of the way so that they can get a good handle on the what the data is showing them. "militants" and "fundie" fit these personality defected types.
I think Many of us have these traits too but the more mature can honestly admit to themselves that their world view is warped and take action to bring it back into focus somewhat.
But the sickest of us all are the ones that pretend to be someone else on a form using their hometown and similar name
or use socks to argue their case or prove a point. They are the sickest of us. In the end, and I have said it a few times, we are just like our enemy sometimes. May the truly innocent cast that first stone... at the mirror.
