A View on Atheist

[downbeatplumb]

I believe in a UK court of law the term is 'balance of probability'.
On the balance of probability there is no god.

[Ace Otana]

This is why I use a more general term such as 'unlikely' with regard to God's existence.

Actually the likely hood of a god existing is extremely improbable.

I don't have any certainty in the uncertainty.

I'm not certain of anything either.

I must admit, that when I first joined this Forum it was shortly after reading 'The God Delusion' by Richard Dawkins. I was amazed by how much of a rant this book was. The only book of I have read that has a similar style is Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler! I began to wonder if all atheists held such a viciferous view.

Sounds remarkably like someone who hasn't read either book. Certainly a most ridiculous comparison.

I have read both books. I was not refering to the content or subject matter of these books, but the tone and style. Both are shining examples of a hubristic rant!

"Through a glass darkly"? Really, if you let your prejudices control your perceptions this is what happens.

Tone and style are very much relevant to what the subject matter is. Passion for what you devout your life to is expected. When that passion is reason and science I argue it is to be applauded. When that passion is genocide its deserving of a quick death.
