Subject: RE: BS: Can all Athiests be lumped together?
By the way, I don't consider "atheist" to be a term used to denote scorn or contempt. To me, it's a neutral term. It simply means someone who does not believe there's a God (or gods)(or Heaven)(or Hell)(etc.).

I do not have scorn or contempt for that viewpoint.


It does not mean any such thing. It means that a considerable amount of thought has led to the conclusion that a deity who breaks every known law and who is far more complicated and inexplicable than the stuff he's supposed to explain doesn't make sense.

I'm glad you don't have contempt for that "viewpoint". The trouble is, it isn't a viewpoint.
