No matter our differences, we can all agree that belligerent midwit atheists are the most insufferable of all cunts.

I'm still an anti-theist. Big fan of Nietzche.
But, at some fucking point, you've got to at least try to understand where the Christians are coming from. Once I figured out that the Christian concept of God is effectively a manifestation of "the absolute truth"; most of the metaphors and analogies make perfect sense.
I agree that there are Christians who treat God as "The Chief Narcissist", and it's because they are already bad people using the church as a crutch.
The last fucking thing I will tolerate is a fucking atheist that's literally the embodiment of the Christian criticism of "a young boy angry at God". Because that's what a bunch of them are. Kids raised by shit parents and ideologically captured by corrupt institutions. Those are atheists that never really deconverted from religious thinking. They've just embraced magical thinking, and now they worship Doctor Fauci instead.
Bad news: you're actually fucking worse than the Evangelicals.
I don't think human can deconvert from religious thinking, all we can do is divert it onto something other than God. And, if you don't have a clearly defined belief system, what you're worshipping is invariably yourself.
I also disagree that the Christian perception of God is "the absolute truth". That's part of it, but what it really encompasses is universal good. This is distinct from religions like Judaism and Islam, which worship tribal good, and religions like Zen and Buddism, which worship truth for individual enlightenment. Christianity worships the good of everyone, even non-believers, and the truth is just a part of that good.
I do agree that atheists bring little or nothing to the table, having been one myself. I even read the Bible but, at that time, I very much was that young boy angry with God; I didn't read to understand, I read to criticise and show that I knew better than others (including God). This caused me to miss the point of much of the book, which I've come to understand mich better today.
It's a frustrating side effect of our technological supremacy that even our children are filled with arrogance and cannot hear the Word when it's right in front of them.
It's okay to take disagreeable positions. Frankly my most disagreeable position regards climate change. But I don't make it a crusade.
