He is spot on. The fact that your only response is to do your usual weasel dance on the definition of Atheism is indicative of that. If you're not a "new atheist" then fine, but don't cry...
Five flaws in the thinking of the new atheists

By UK philosopher Peter S. Williams. (H/T Apologetics 315) / winteryknight.wordpress.com

It’s 9 minutes long.

Topics:

  1. Atheists misunderstand the nature of faith.
  2. Atheistic view of epistemology is self-refuting.
  3. Atheistic view of morality is self-contradictory.
  4. Atheistic view of free will is self-contradictory.
  5. Atheists don’t understand theistic arguments.
This is a short presentation of the material presented in this paper.

If you want to hear more from Peter, this debate with an academic postmodern relativist is just awesome.

Gregoree's arrogance and lack of substance knows no earthly bounds.

Jesus had a message for this:

"You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost its savor, how shall it be salted? it is thereafter good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."
