No, instead let's pick on those who believe with all
their hearts (I would add minds, but apparently not)
in ghosts, UFOs, free energy, ESP, homeopathy, and
astrology.

Abe, the Arab, who some 6KY ago, gave birth to the criminal
base for the sociopathy of Monotheism has infected the
World's population with a cursed triumvirate that consists of
0.23% being Jews, 33.03% Xians & 20.12% being Muslims.
Then there're 13.34% Hindus, 5.89% Buddhists & 0.39% Sikhs
who've escaped Abe's cursed faith but they have irrational quirks
of their own. All these religious people do add up to 73% of
humankind. IOW *** 3/4 of all people are mentally ill ****
There are 12.61% under "other religions" & 2.36% are Atheists
all of which are also damaged goods, which leaves less then 1/8
of humankind, 12.03%, that are non-religious or rational people.
With 7/8 of humanity behaving irrationally, like you do, needing
fairy tales to be told at, to be capable to go thru life's tribulations...
should make it incandescently clear to you to understand now
why things are in the sorry state they are.... and should make you
stop, cease and desist immediately with preaching religion ...
If not then thanks for the laughs anyway.... ahahahaha...

Atheism is not a 'religion'. So I don't know why we were included in this
'hit' list. Second, what would a 'fundamentalist' atheist look like? There
is nothing to indicate that a 'God' exists. That's it. Is there a form of
atheism that says there *is* 'proof' for the existence of a 'God' and that
these 'moderate' atheists differ from 'fundamentalist' atheists? Does that
make *any* sense to members of this NG?
(And, 'Yes', it *is* easy to pick on a group who insist that what they
espouse is true as 'true' can be, yet cannot prove their beliefs to be true
to save their lives. Their whole belief system is built upon one brazen lie
after another. They have waged a malicious war on Science. And for that
alone they deserve derision.)
The gist of the 'message' is true however. There should be no 'sacred cows'
when it comes to reporting the truth.

I don't know about looks, but I see posts from what I consider to be
Fundamentalist Atheists. They are frequently evangelizing for one. For
another they seem convinced that the Bible is either a completely true
literal description of actual events or it is worthless, a position
they share with Fundamentalists Christians (the two groups just differ
on whether or not the Bible is, in fact, true in that way). They both
seem to think there are only two possible positions: Fundamentalist
Christianity or atheism.

Sorry, but plenty of atheists do have other views.

There are atheists who insist that they have proof there is no God.
They insist that anyone who disagrees with them is deluded or a moron
(or both).

What do so called 'fundamentalist atheists' frequently evangelise?

So it boils down to you being a Christian being insulted that athiest
would dare challenge your view on the world? What do Christians believe
about the Egyptian gods and goddesses?

"There is no God" is the atheist view, what other views might there be?
That he kinda exists? That wouldn't be atheism them.

So without proof they think God exists? I wonder what the definition of
'atheist' you're looking at.

That would be tarring a whole wodge of people unfairly. You can have
your religion, just don't stick it in to people's faces like Min does.
That there is no god.

Astounding. In any given week I am told I am a Christian, a Jew, and
an atheist. There are too many people who can't seem to recognize that
someone would defend an argument, but disagree with the conclusion.
You have just shown one of the qualities I described: you divide the
world into atheists and Christians. And no, I was not insulted that
someone challenge my worldview, my worldview is not in question here.
You want to challenge a position I take, great. Provide argument and
evidence and we can go at it.

That there is no God, for example. Here you play another game familiar
among Fundamentalist Christians. Internally you see all kinds of
gradations of strong and weak, but externally you claim to be of one
mind. Sorry, but athe*ists* hold a wide range of views. A given flavor
of athe*ism* may be simple in description, but that does not make the
views simple.

I have no idea what confused you here, but that response makes no
sense.
>I wonder what the definition of
>'atheist' you're looking at.
There are those who say there is no evidence for god, there are those
who say there is no god, there are those who say it is *obvious* there
is no god, there are those who say they can prove there is no god,
etc. And those are just flavors along the "primary axis", there are
other divisions orthogonal or related.

How? I said that *some* atheists are Fundamentalists and I gave my
criteria. Not all atheists fit that position. That is not tarring
anyone unfairly.
>You can have
>your religion,
Sorry, but my religion is not at issue here.
>just don't stick it in to people's faces like Min does.
That was sort of my point, wasn't it?
Sure it is. It's radical, fundamentalist agnosticism.
Only atheists move from absence of evidence to proof of absence
without skipping a beat. That's faith, my man, pure and simple.

Because I post to the place where the original went.
Can't blame you for that. Pigbin couldn't work that out of course,
