"True Christians" are an even rarer beastie.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

"World class atheists?"

I'm striving for "no-class atheist!"

Atheists might not exist?? I looked in the mirror, fairly sure I exist

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

I remember reading that article, and loosing track of how many straw men the author builds.

Even the very first sentence is a straw man of atheism, and does even reflect Dawkins' position accurately.

Some of the comments below the article pretty much point out the fallacious nature of much of it.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

It's times like these I wish the internet never escaped the print of bad science-fiction.
