Why I'm Not an Atheist: The Case for Agnosticism

[muriel_volestrangler]

48. Your post #6 was not subtle in its insults

"Although few atheists have the intellectual honesty to admit it,

most emotionally crave the same certainty of their opinion as do believers.

Agnostics enjoy living with the uncertainty and humility of not knowing.

I have found that space an exciting space to reside. It leaves open many possibilities of wonderment and exploration that I might miss with a closed mind. "

Insult #1: "few atheists have the intellectual honesty to admit it"
Unwarranted Assumption #1: "most emotionally crave the same certainty of their opinion as do believers"
Proclamation of your own superiority, and insult #2: "many possibilities of wonderment and exploration that I might miss with a closed mind. "

Now you've followed that up with insult #3: "many atheists do have a chip on their shoulder"
Unwarranted Assumption #2: "I sense it may come from feeling on the defensive. "
Complete lack of self-awareness #1: "Many atheists feeling that they hold a superior position"
Complete lack of self-awareness #2: "have no problem demeaning or insulting believers or even agnostics"

Compared to what you say, "naive and somewhat stereotyped" is mild.
