To me, they may as well be Jew- haters, even granting they do not limit themselves, but despise those with some religious belief (most of their fellow men) pretty equally.
I remind you that your accusation against atheists on SI as haters was that their Jew-hating-like behavior was for "belief." We have "despised" not for behavior; actions; public policy advocacy that would harm us; other ways of acting out certain beliefs; no, we have "despised," you have claimed (nice word), "those with some religious belief."
We "despise" most of our fellow men, in fact, according to you!
I think you owe us an apology, though I'm not sure to whom it should be addressed, since you won't tell us what was said that caused you to assert the above, or who said it (except maybe it wasn't I.)
BTW, militant and other thread agnostics: I think God-belief is exactly on a par, rationally, with Jove-belief, gremlin-belief and fairy-belief. I despise no one for holding any of those beliefs. If those who believe agnosticism is more rational than atheism will state that they are agnostic about the existence of Jove, gremlins and fairies, the non-existence of which are equally not provable, I will join them in happy (in fact merry) agnosticism, for purposes of discussion with them here. |
