2) You can't stop having nightmares about Richard Dawkins taking your binkie
3) You think that atheists are fascists when they call out your homophobic comments
4) You keep trying to convince everyone that atheists are the real bigots while zealously defending the RCC's policies

6) You believe that atheists dislike you because you're a theist

(49,533 posts)Well you know, these mean nasty anti-theists are out there writing negative things about religion. It's horrible, I tell ya. JUST AS BAD as the religious extremists who murder.
But you see, that's the heart of the matter. There are believers and sympathizers SO DESPERATE to validate their position to themselves that they have to portray themselves in the middle of two equally bad extremes. Thus you have ridiculous exaggerations and embellishments against a quiet English gentleman like Richard Dawkins or outright deceptive out-of-context quoting of Sam Harris.
They're just that desperate. It's sad, really. Some are fun to rankle and mock, others should just be ignored.

(57,349 posts)Can you imagine how much time some people waste looking for bad atheists?
Maybe they should clean their own house instead.

I can't help but wonder how Greg (not cardinal) Burke would have spun all this...
