Another stereotypical atheist weighs in, and is found wanting
Secular beliefs, atheism, religious wars, God, Christianity, Richard Dawkins
It is one thing to be arrogant if you have earned the right but it is yet another if you have not. Another stereotypical Atheist has emailed in order to have their say (see pervious such considerations here and here).
This is not meant to embarrass of bully, a pseudonym was, apparently, used and so this is not about personal besmirchment. Rather, this is about showing Atheist how not to do it and show Judeo-Christians how to do it.
Here is the statement that was sent in:
Its [sic] one thing expressing your religion and beliefs, but its quote another to start slagging of [sic] Atheists …
Richard Dawkins has more IQ in his **** then [sic] your whole bloody congregation !…
God and Religion is for people who dont [sic] have the GUTS to stand up to normal life and all its good and bads, its [sic] the biggest business on the planet and causes more wars and unrest than anything else…… PERIOD ! ********* !!!! [these ellipses in original and expletives have been removed]
Here is the response:
Hello GOD (if that is your real name—wink, wink, nudge, nudge),
Thank you for contacting me and expressing your opinions about matters of great importance.
Thank you also for strengthening my belief in YVHV, for on the very day I posted Does atheism lead to cult of personality hero worship?, along came your email confirming that yes, indeed, it does.
You are certainly a faithful adherent of the Dawkinsian denomination of atheism: 1) You take them time to write to a perfect stranger in order to defend your hero. 2) You offer no counterargument whatsoever. 3) You employ tactics which ought to have been left behind in the school yard. 4) You pepper your emotive rant with vocabulary unbecoming reasoned discourse. 5) You make faulty and factually false assertions.
6) You condemn without providing a premise upon which to base your condemnation.
As a first step in helping you come to terms with facts, I would urge you to correct your statement that, “God and Religion…causes more wars and unrest than anything else…” Please read Find it Fast – Fast Facts: on religious wars.
I pray the best for you and yours, be well.
