This is something I heard recently from a christian. This position comes from the religionists' complete inability to concieve that their belief is false. People who say this imagine that the atheist is really a true believer who is 'angry' at god.
Not only do I emphatically argue that there are true atheists- people who reject religion for lack of credible evidence and rationality-- but I'll go further than that. I'll state that there are no real Christians.
The only thing I've seen that comes close true Christianity in this country are the snake handlers of the Appalachian Mountains (and their practices have been outlawed by their fellow christians because so many of them die).
A true Christian will handle poisonous snakes, drink poisonous liquids, sell everything they have and give the money to the poor, abandon their families in order to follow their religion, kill people who work on the sabbath, kill disobedient children, kill practicing homosexuals, kill anyone (including their own spouse and child) who attempts to convert them to a different religion, refuse to use doctors or modern medicine, and I could go on and on.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, shame on you... read the bible.
I'm new to this blog, but I like it's direction. I hope to see more posts soon. Thought I would put one up since this seems to be a newer blog. Great site though, keep up the good work.
