CJ Werleman Loses the Plot in New Book
September 15, 2015 at 10:06 pm
So, it seems CJ Werleman has lost any credibility he may have had left with his new book "The New Atheist Threat".
Below is a link to shooting down a few of the claims he makes:

Seems plagiarism isn't enough for Werleman

He sounds like he shares a room with Jack Chick. This is some disturbed stuff.
Is he this mental, or is he just doing it for the money? Can people really have such an utterly wrong idea about what atheism is (or rather isn't)?
I think we need the "All serial killers have breakfast" fallacy here.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I think people like this will eventually help us by making the "opposition" to atheism look like scared crying ignorant children. Unable or unwilling to understand atheism, they construct these ridiculous "logical conclusions" so they have something to knock down.

He's capitalizing on clickbait in the form of a book. He's literally Buzzfeed in long form.
Even spelled Hemant Mehta's name wrong in the book.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
