Atheism
Atheism Turns Aggressive
It is amazing to listen to modern atheists, especially those of the aggressive type. Here are a few observations about Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, and the many who follow their lead.
Weak and tired arguments. No kidding. How many times must we hear the hasty generalization that religions are dangerous? How many times will they avoid the issue that the worst killers in history conducted their atrocities on the basis of Naturalistic Atheism? How many times must we hear: “Can God create a stone so heavy that he can’t lift it?” How many times must we hear about the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Those arguments have been thoroughly refuted. Try some new things.
Arrogance. These folks have a tendency to stare down their Ph.D. noses at the little people of the world. They surely believe they are more highly evolved than the rest of us. The irony is, the most arrogant are using the weakest arguments.
Ignoring evidence. The Cosmological Argument for the existence of God is a powerful evidence that a supreme, living, and intelligent being exists. So is the Fine-tuning argument for the existence of God. They simply ignore this evidence and argue that “God” is a non-answer. To do so is to go against every notion of common sense we have. It is like looking an arrowhead and saying, “Indian is a non-answer.” Come on folks. Let’s follow evidence.
Venom. The aggressive atheists love to use shocking language about Christians. They are “deluded,” they are “dangerous,” they are “backwards.” This poisons the well, so that as people attempt to decide what is true, they have in their minds that religious people are the stupid ones. Name-calling, however, does not make one’s position true.
