It's not even the atheists -- I have no problem with most intellectually honest atheists -- the problem is the anti-theists, who are usually more often than not just anti-Christian. As we've seen with Sam Harris, anti-theism is usually just a veil for arrogance and delusion.
the problem is the anti-theists, who are usually more often than not just anti-Christian
I had another reddit account banned over the weekend. Someone posted a comment that said Mohammed once cut the sleeve off his robe to avoid disturbing a cat that was laying on him. He ended by saying that the love of cats has deep roots in Islam.
I replied, "The love of child brides also has deep roots in Islam."
I got a bunch of downvotes and then a permaban. If I said the exact same thing about Christianity, I would have gotten upvotes and no way they'd ban me.
It's anti-Christianity masquerading as the more "rational" position of anti-theism, but they give themselves away when the opportunity arises to punish someone they dislike.
“Intellectually honest atheists” are called agnostics
Edit) sure are a lot of amoral angsty a-intellectuals who don’t know that a- and anti- are both negational prefixes of Greek origin which indicate a belief in the lack of God
In the end, every atheist eventually admits who they really serve.

I've never met an intellectually honest atheist. As far as I'm concerned they're theoretical.

A-theism == Anti-theism

A-gnostic means without knowledge
A-theist means without God
In what world or dictionary or etymological line of thought does “a-theist” mean “I don’t worship” lmfao
Your attempt at pilpul doesn’t work on me.
/> The Agnostic Atheist doesn't assert that there is no God, he just hasn't bought in to the notion.
Literally not what any of these words mean. “Agnostic atheist” is an oxymoron of the lowest order.
