That's right, feel my frodopain.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I KNOW you didn't say you understood religion... that was kinda my point.
You never said that you wanted to use religion as a scientific tool... but I infered that directly from your statement about religion ...that's how you were trying to use it FROM YOUR STATEMENT.
Tiresome? Pshhh.
Maybe I need to dumb it down a bit for you.
Oh dear fr0d0, you claim I said A, and then you say you know that's not what I said but what you inferred. You obviously only see what you want to, and debating you is like debating a bowl of pudding. I don't need you to dumb it down(as if that was even possible), I just need you to stop letting your bias towards atheists dictate your interpretation of what I say.

I do think his information needs to be corrected.
But then again I keep getting told I'm a big weakling, so what the fuck do I know?

Not comforting. Since when did we all go around dissing the concept of outreach? Lord knows we've seen enough stifled teens on this board alone to know that even the briefest pamphlet might be of some help to the world at large.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

You have made it abundantly clear that you think all atheists don't understand religion, worship science, want to destroy religion, are indoctrinated, and like their babies grilled in a soft tortilla with a dab of hot sauce(I may have made that last one up  ).

That's not fair. He does distinguish between individuals. Unfortunately, he writes in generalizations.

[all atheists] worship science <--- not at all

[all atheists] are indoctrinated, and like their babies grilled in a soft tortilla with a dab of hot sauce(I may have made that last one up ). <--- no, that one's true
