Don't get me wrong, I think atheists depending on conditions can be just as tunnel visioned and delusional as theists.
Those are a rare breed. Every atheist I know would immediately change their mind if any evidence for a deity turned up. Such evidence never turns up. One can deal with that for a while, but eventually the lies get tedious. I can give a "for example".
On a different site I frequent, a user posed this question...
"Theists – Give me a reason to believe."
None of the resident theists even made the attempt until one wheeled out this gem from a believer...
"The OP asked why people believe,"
By any measure, that is a flat out lie. That is not what the OP asked in any way.
This is just one more example of how the faithful twist things, reality, themselves, into such pretzels.
I see it all the time. It's so bad that we have an internal support network to help the frontline staff manning the phones. The most abusive are invariably the religious.
