10. You vigorously deny the existence of God, yet you frequently blame Him for all the "evils" in the world, all the natural disasters, and everything else under the sun that is wrong in modern society.
That would be fucking foolish yes. However, if one were to deny the existence of god, and then
sarcastically remark "oh yes, look how wonderful god is, with all the people he killed wit that tsunami", so as to indicate another reason why one doesn't believe in a god, then I wouldn't say that that would be particularly foolish.
9. You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when creationists say that people were created in the image and likeness of God, but you have no problem with the evolutionist claim that we all evolved from slime by a cosmic accident.
Yes, that would be pretty foolish also, since, one, that's not what evolution claims, and two, why would anyone feel dehumanized for what some ignorant people say about him?
8. You criticize fundamental Christians who believe the Bible, and say that it can't possibly be true because it's just a book written by mere men, yet you never question any of Darwin's writings or Richard Dawkins' books.
Yes, again, very foolish. I don't know anyone who does that though. Most atheists are perfectly happy to question both Darwin and Dawkins, and a whole bunch of other people.
7. You can't seem to understand the primary differences between fundamental Muslims and fundamental Christians (hint: strap-on TNT. Plus - Muhammad says, kill innocent people and yourself if you love me. Jesus Christ said, I’ll die for you because I love you).
Not seeing a difference between two things that are different is pretty foolish, yes. Of course that doesn't mean any of them are any good at all.
6. You say the Bible is full of fairytales and fables, yet you believe all life forms including plants, trees, insects, birds, fish, reptiles and mammals evolved from one species into another - As if evolution isn’t the biggest fairytale of them all.
Sorry, can't agree with this one, since evolution has heaps of evidence, and the bible has, well precious little.No, believing something because there is lots of evidence for it, and calling something that has precious little evidence for it a fairytale isn't exactly foolish.
5. You laugh at the Supernatural, even though scientists have calculated the odds of life forming by natural processes to be estimated less than 1 chance in 10 to the 40,ooo power — But you find nothing wrong with believing that billions of years full of random mutations would result in the impossible.
"Scientists" may have calculated that, actual scientists have no problem with this hypotheses. So no, not foolish.
4. You accuse fundamental Christians of being intolerant, judgmental and hateful, while you foam at the mouth calling them freaking lunatics, ignorant, weak-minded, stupid fundies, and hateful bigots.
Calling something for what it is is not being intolerant. If you said Stalin was a terrible person, and a mass murderer, are you being intolerant towards Stalin? Again, not foolish.
3. You ignore scientific concepts like cause and effect, and you don't realize that a closed system can be defined however the observer wants, so you throw out technological phrases to try to ignore the implications of thermodynamics by saying the laws of physics are not set in stone.
Ignoring scientific concepts is pretty foolish, yes. One wonders why creationists keep doing that.
2. While all evidence, logic and reasoning point to a Creator and absolute truth, you prefer to hide behind relativism and a theory of evolution which does not, in fact, describe the creation of the universe at all, or why concepts of good and evil or morality exist.
It's not the theory of evolution's place to describe those things. Therefore, hiding behind it to account for those things would be pretty foolish, yes. Luckily though, most atheists are smarter than creationists, and know evolution doesn't explain those things, so they point towards other explanations, that have nothing to do with evolution.
1. *Atheism fails to adequately explain the existence of eternal, unchanging truths, for it rejects the existence of an eternal unchanging mind. Atheism cannot offer man any eternal significance whatsoever. Temporary meaning in life is insufficient, for our accomplishments die with the death of the universe -- there is no ultimate purpose in a universe void of God.
This isn't even a statement like the others are. therefore, this has nothing to do with being foolish or not. It is also completely untrue and a lie.
So,
if there are any atheists who doe the foolish things, then yes, they are foolish atheists. Now, care to point out any who think these things?
