<<<Might is right and "reason dictates" that you follow your evil desires and feelings as long as you can get away with it, is the true atheist's position.>>> "THERE IS NO "ATHEIST POSITION" other than the single premise that God is either not believable or not provable." What I meant by "the TRUE atheist's position" is simply "the CONSISTENT atheist's position" The "consistency" pertaining to the claim that atheism is based solely on reason. Of course your weaker (agnostic) definition is not quite the standard one that is normally espoused but that's an in house problem for atheists. Since atheists (like you) are constantly jumping up and down, and shouting about how there position is based purely on reason, (see perfect example below) it's completely fair to point out that you only claim reason when it can be used as a convenient weapon to wield against those nasty theists. The rest of the time you are whining like a little girl about your sensitive feelings. "Rational people feel as much as irrational people." Sure they do but the consistent rationalist/atheist rejects those feelings when they go against reason. At least that's what you are constantly telling everyone ELSE to do. This is only a problem for those who pretend that their system is based solely on reason. If you want to here admit that it is emotion and not reason that is penultimate in your system then spit it out and stop pretending to be the great defender of pure reason. <<<"It's a good thing they have a camera on you at the tables in Vegas.">>> "WHY?" Because Reason dictates that you should cheat (or do anything else your little heart desires) if it proves to be advantageous and you can get away with it. Therefore cameras are a necessary and reasonable response to your purely rationalistic ethic. "WE will NOT allow it ever again! The future belongs to Galileo, Einstein, and all other rational men and women! We will light so many candles of knowledge that the darkness of superstitious savagery and subterfuge will be blinded by the white light of reason!" Yes, there you go again on your high horse of reason just like they did during the French revolution. I fully expect the same bloody result if you and your atheist buddies ever do attain real power. If there's one thing atheist's are BLOODY consistent about, it's killing those who disagree with them.
