How is an atheist by nature a brave and courageous person? I've met some atheists I didn't consider very brave and courageous. They cling to a belief system as desperately as the "believers" and are as ludicrous as any believer to me. Perhaps even MORE ludicrous in the sense that at LEAST the believers believe in the hope of GETTING something, which, while greedy, is at least understandable. WHY cling desperately to the belief in an unprovable negative? As for being bad, what is bad? Is it bad to ridicule? I find it bad when people I do not like ridicule things or people I like- but I am able to comprehend this is purely subjective on my part, even through disgust or loathing. Of course the people I find stupid and ridiculous are (imo) "bad" but I always know, at some level, that everything is completely subjective. I suspect you were joking. And it was a good joke.
