Of course his comments were written as an Atheist who recognised that the only responses to Christianity that his fellow Atheists seemed to have were sneering, slander, and personal attacks.

my fellow atheists were shallow, men without insight into real human nature. I read Chiang’s story and I thought: is this the best my side can do? Is this cheap slander the best argument we can muster against our hated enemies, the Christians?

In those days I kept wondering why, since my side had the Sixteen-Inch Guns of Truth and Logic, our gunners kept shooting blanks. Why were we sneering all the time, instead of setting out the evidence? Backfire


I know you saw yourself in his remarks and that's what prompted your sneering response. Very revealing.
