If we didn't condemn the actions of extreme atheism then it might look to other as if there is a double standard.
etc. and probably repeat things Paul said.
(I ran into a case of this on the NPR Facebook page. Everyone was complaining about atheists being pissed off at the fact that someone wanted to 'recreate' how Moses got across the Red Sea. and some of them were actually insulting the religious people there.)
Also, everyone has different connotations attached to words. I had to do an exercise on it last week for my public speaking class for what each of us thought of a specific word/set of i.e. Date rape, soccor mom, media, family values....
so, it's not like anyone is an idiot for having negative connotations to the word "atheist" in fact I think my boyfriend kind of does and he's a/n agnostic/weak atheist. His father was very anti-religion/angry atheist and he had other issues with his father. or he just thinks atheist means belief there is no god not a lack of believe in god.
