“Atheists Are Moral People!”
Just not this atheist:
…People like Sye, Eric, Joe, Chris, and all the rest of the reality denying crowd, deserve nothing but ridicule for their witlessness. They seem to be getting upset that they aren’t treated with reverence and respect either here, or on the podcast, but you know what? They don’t DESERVE reverence or respect for their idiocy, if anything they deserve even more ridicule. For the ******** they peddle, often for money, they should be laughed out of town, they should be hounded by angry townsfolk armed with pitchforks and flaming torches. They should be confronted by the

Atheist Triumphalism
In this clip, a Christian apologist named Arthur runs into a fundamentalist atheist on his way to engage with others in sober rational discourse. Arthur politely asks the atheist to join him, but the atheist will have none of it. Instead, the atheist makes sure that all of the attention is given to him, makes some ridiculous demands of the apologist, and proceeds to argue with him. After making the first devastating point, the apologist asks the atheist to step aside, but the atheist denies any harm has befallen him. The apologist is forced to show the atheist what he …

…If someone had asked him last fall if he believed in God, he would have said definitely not. But now, Suplita says he is unsure whether he ever really believed that in his heart.

“It was more like I was trying to convince myself,” he said.

Mr. White, Mr. Grey, and Mr. Black VII

“Well, of course,” replies Mr. Grey, “if you want absolute certainty, such as one gets in geometry, Christianity does not offer it. We offer you only ‘rational probability.’ ‘Christianity,’ as I said in effect a moment ago when I spoke of the death of Christ, ‘is founded on historical facts, which, by their very nature, cannot be demonstrated with geometric certainty. All judgments of historical particulars are at the mercy of the complexity of the time-space universe. . . . If the scientist cannot rise above rational probability
