Looking around these threads and seeing various responses has suggested to me that there might be something out there called Atheist fundamentalism (lol).I don't want to slag anyone off because I can understand some of the bile but some Atheists seem to be very dogmatic and rigid saying things like "belief in god can never be rational" , or " the supernatural is complete nonsense". They seem to be at war with Theism in the same way Fundamentalists are at war with "sinners".
The thing is, it starts to sound like a creed after a while and smacks of a closed minded approach similar to right wing Creationists.I find myself speculating about what kind of Theists these Atheists would be in a parallel universe? I can't help but conclude sometimes that they would be the very thing they say they despise!
In short , the belief system is very different but the rhetoric sounds only too familiar. Theist or Atheist , it's dogma that we need to watch out for. Watch out for that monkey poop!
