Together with a couple of other members, I think I found you to be quite a reasonable Atheist to be engaged with, in a good conversation. Thanks.

Do you follow or play cricket, or just a class Rugby fan?

So that kinda conflicting attribute that does not impress me.

I think there is a common theme here as most Atheists on this forum come from some form of a Christianity background. So whenever they think about God, the automatically imagine the God of Christianity and the attributes associated to him. However, how do you define God in other faiths and the attributes associated with him, is something that many not even care to explore.
The outright reject The God (of Christianity) and cross the line to go into the camp of non-believers.



Either way, there is no "scientific, repeatable evidence"
Yes, exactly. They hold on to the most fundamental view of Christianity for dear life to rationalize their atheism and project all that on to all beliefs and become rigid in their intolerance. People who believe understand the varieties of religious experiences and have no need to invalidate other belief systems including atheism, which of course is a belief.

Both false and ironically intolerant.

Yes, we can point out any other false belief, unless it is religion. And many religious people DO try and invalidate other religions, so you can not use that to attack only atheism.

You are shining a spot light on your intolerance and your insecurity about your own beliefs.

So reading the bible is food for atheism/nonbelief?

I like that. This should be on a tee shirt.
