what is acceptable to one person may not be acceptable to others and neither sincere belief nor personal acceptance make something objectively true.
I still don't get this one, why certain groups of people feel the need to tell everyone else how to believe. Atheists just as well think the mindset of creationists and militant religious zealots are wrong. The difference is, we don't press our beliefs on people who think differently. We encourage people to think differently. We try to enlighten you and give you our opinion on why we think your worldview stinks. But for the most part, sites like this, and discussions like this, are started by the religious in an effort to push a certain way onto others. Atheists, for the most part, are just fine and dandy with you getting dressed up Sunday morning for church. I know I don't care. Just don't tell me I'm blatantly wrong for my worldviews.
atheists aren't evil baby-eating Satanic monsters, like his pastor told him.
Wait a minute......they're not?
