OK fair enough, but so what? Theists are more prone to theocracy, and theocrats are almost all theists. My point was that in the context of the comments in question,...
...Baruch's comment makes little sense. I was just telling Mouse he has no idea what he's talking about by claiming, "Atheists really believe in God; They just believe they don't." It's one of the oldest and most idiotic tropes theists ever came up with. So Baruch jumps in the middle and implies I approve of Marx when I have never given anyone any indication of that. How does that relate to the exchange? But you're right. I should have just told him to fuck off.
SGOS, I want to commend you, for what my opinion is worth, on your level of thought.
Dont think I am sarcastic, on the contrary, I really mean it.
However, I also think you should attempt to stay away from slants as "bullshit" and so on.
It damages your communicative channeling, and steers the reader away from what you intend to explain.
However, because I am used to be spoken to in this way, I am able to ignore these small infringements, and to note your thinking.
Now, back to the point.
I do not say that Atheists are believers of God, on the contrary, I know Atheists do not believe in God at all!
Period!
But one thing no atheist can get away on this claim is that they are not honest to their conscience in such a claim that their point of stance, is that their position is not religious.
It is just that!
Let me demonstrate.
To know something does not exist, is fact!
...but to walk around looking for evidence that something does not exist, is actually evidence that such a practicing atheist is unsecured on his point of view!
To try to show in Biology, Evolution, RI Dating, Biblical criticism, and any other means atheists needs to show that the Bible is wrong and Christians are deluded, is an effort to sooth the mind.
Also, to ignore any apologetic answers supplied by Bible scholars, is to deny an answer which the Atheist anyway know was incorrect the moment he engauged in constructing anti Biblical straw men.
To conclude, Atheism is a blind faith, something I as a Bible believing christian, ex atheist, can not get over my heart to accept as fact.
greetings.
