I've recently noticed a trend on this forum. On any given thread where a christian feels he/she needs to make a point, very rarely do any of the other theists join in. They tend to let one take the lead and instead concentrate elsewhere.
On the other hand, the atheist crowd mix in most threads with usually the same agreement on points.
I think this is because they can never agree amongst themselves on even simple interpretation of scripture let alone any other tenets of their religion. This is blatantly obvious on the christian forum site that I peer into on occasion - the arguments around the bible there make your eyes water sometimes. And that's a place where atheists are largely refused entry to stir them up. Before I got banned, I asked some questions about Genesis and the arguments amongst themselves were a sight to behold.
I suppose my point is, is it should be obvious then, that simple deductive reasoning would infer that the atheist view (on theological matters at least) is correct just by the fact that it is agreed on by the majority. When GC puts his opinion forward, it's just that - his opinion. I've rarely seen drippy (or prof or the other new theists) come to his defense or vice versa.
The fact that we will never see them unite in their beliefs says it all for me. I'd love to see them come together and argue amongst themselves for once, it would be excellent entertainment. Because, sure as shit, they will never agree with someone elses opinion regardless the topic.
