Meet an atheist ... who believes in God

[Humanist_Activist]

71. See, this is the big gap, I don't view being a militant anti-theist as a bad thing...

he's opposing beliefs, not people, there is a big difference there. As a scientist, as a human being, he thinks faith is a bad idea, and he's right, it is.

I will say that, like I said before, my more recent hostility has manifest itself because I made the mistake of looking at liberal Christian blogs and websites, as a result of the OP you posted about Frank Schaeffer. I went down the rabbit hole, as it were, and frankly it was a mix of both disgust and, actually, a lack of surprise.

It seems there's a huge undercurrent of denial of humanity for atheists and other non-Christians. When we act contrary to their prejudices, we act "like Christ" as if our actions aren't our own, but that of their God. They deny our identity, they deny our humanity, and these are supposed to be our allies?

Even worse is the condescension, seriously, when an atheist acts like a decent human being, many of these Christians will be happy to praise it, but its almost like they are praising a dog who is doing this for treats, its disgusting. Some of them even go so far, like Frank Schaeffer, of, more or less, claiming we go through life as if we were Christians, which is complete bullshit.
