You keep responding to points I don't make in order to avoid the ones that I do.
Red Herring #1.
All believing Christians are "extreme fundamentalists"
All I was saying is that Atheism is as much a dogma, or belief as Christianity. Therefore if the constant use of pejorative language such as extreme and fundamentalist, to describe one belief system applies, then it is also applicable to the other.
Therefore;
All believing Atheists are "extreme fundamentalists"
"it is stupid to say that someone "extremely" doesn't (does)believe in God, or "dogmatically" doesn't (does) believe in God, or "fundamentally" doesn't (does) believe in God. That is plain STUPID! Do we say that a theist "extremely" believes in God and so forth??"
Yes you do, all the time. Sadly; you don't even seem to realize it.
Red Herring #2.
All evil done by those who hold religious beliefs (even if that evil is directly contradicted and inconsistent with the very religious beliefs they hold) is the direct result of that religion.
OTOH.. When Atheists get power and then consistently apply evolutionary principals such as;
"There are no "oughts" implied in evolution, and Nature certainly shows herself to be amoral."
then what they have done is the result of personal lust and in no way is a refection of their philosophical dogma.
Red Herring #3
It is True that there is no Truth except the Truth that there is no Truth, except the Truth that there is no Truth, except the Truth that there is no Truth, except the Truth that there is no Truth, except the Truth that there is no Truth, except the Truth that there is no Truth,
Ever thing your opponents say is relative, but everything you say Atheistic gospel Truth. If you were a tiger then you would have turned into butter long ago.
Red Herring #4
Unbelievers are not to be trusted!
"a Christian schoolmaster proselytizing on a Christian web site demonstrates nothing of the kind."
All your Atheistic liver specialists proselytizing on Atheistic web sites are all therefore disqualified.
Red Herring #5. Equivocate, equivocate, equivocate.
"That's not what I mean when I say evolution"
"Not all humanists or atheists or secularists believe in the validity of evolutionary theory--although they all ought to. It is demonstrated. But it is only the explanation for evolutionary change--NOT for EVERYTHING! :-)"
I have to disagree on that one as well. If they do not then they are the exception not the rule and evolution broadly defined is the theory for everything. Every time I point that out you equivocate and redefine evolution.
"Evolution in no way shape or form excludes religion or religious possibilities."
You are flat wrong about that. Go ask Richard Dawkins.
"Stalin did much more than not believe in God. He was a brutal tyrant and murderous seeker of power. He was unhinged."
See Red Herring #2 above
"Trying to proclaim a lack of belief in the Christian God as "evil" is fundamentalist claptrap. And it demonstrates perfectly why so many great people worked so hard to separate the Church from the State."
