Subject: RE: BS: Are Atheists really Atheists or......
Blimey, my post got chopped. Second time today. Here's a rehash of what was supposed to be the whole thing.

My response was neither defensive (a poor tactic there from you to try to put me on the back foot!), neither did I see it, in the remotest sense, as an attack on me. Your list of alleged atheistic types is condescending, hopeful and downright wacky in a suspiciously Aunt Sally way. I mean, just look at this:

Someone who doesn't believe there's a God because his Daddy and Mommy and science teacher told him there isn't a God.

Blimey, bet you wish you hadn't typed that particular piece of stupidity.

As for the equivalence issue, now I don't know whether you were being deliberately obtuse or what, but no-one except you is talking about the equivalence between atheist type and atheist type. We are talking about the false equivalence often made between atheists and believers. Do make the effort to properly get your head round the issues you're so eager to engage with. It avoids making you look less than sensible.
