[beam me up scottie]

First, let me say that I loved this piece, thank you for posting it.

But after reading the responses from believers and non, I'm starting to believe (yes, I'll use that word) that some religious people are either missing the part of their brain that allows them to think outside of the box, or if they did have it at one time, it was lost to atrophy.


How in the hell can anyone read a simple and articulate article like that and still come to the conclusion that atheism even remotely resembles a religious belief?

They are either incapable of comprehending the obvious because of their underdeveloped minds, or they are too terrified to look at their own beliefs the way others look at them.

I'd like to know what they are so frightened of.

That their faith will come up short?


It seems like believers who are secure in their faith are not threatened at all by atheists, and even go out of their way to see things from a different perspective.


Perhaps someone else has a different theory.

As for me, I'm tired of trying to reason with the unreasonable.

You cannot reach something that just isn't there.
