“Atheism relies on intellectual dishonesty;”
Okay, 1st thing i think of, I keep seeing people defend passages in the Bible as good by pretending they do NOT say what they plainly say. Reading what’s actually THERE is intellectual HONesty. So, you’re just projecting.
“to a mindless conformity to the values and ideas of one era,”
One era? When is this era of atheisticity?
I don’t find the arguments they’re offering NOW for gods, heaven, hell to be convincing. What era am I picking up to conformity towards?
“not arrived at intellectually,”
Doesn’t really matter, does it? I have these ideas. I think they’re intellectual. But still, i have them. Unless and until someone’s argument for the other side is convincing, I’m stuck here. Name-call all you want, unless you can prove Hell to be Just I don’t wanna play that game.
"and incapable of rational statement or defence.”
Okay. I’m an atheist. Your shit doesn’t make sense. G’head and find the irrational part of that.
“Hardly any atheist posts online consist of anything but vituperation.”
Meh. That’s your impression. But then, you’re afraid of bad fucking words, so you take intensity modifiers as demon-breathed vituperation, so who gives a shit?
