Can anyone tell me what a "fundamentalist atheist" is and how it differs from a regular atheist? This reminds me of a conversation with Kurious Kathy, a theist who used to post here. She liked to use the phrase "so-called atheist", but I never could get her to tell me the difference between that and a regular atheist.
How can I misrepresent it when I quoted it verbatim? What alternative meaning of "keep telling" can you offer that doesn't mean "frequently and persistently"? Since I'm not to only one who read it that way, perhaps you could explain to us what your initial sentence really means?
I think you mean "<snip argument that is beyond my ability to address>".
That's on the same level as "I know you are but what am I?". You may as well start accusing us of spreading Christian cooties. The argument that by pointing out that a generalization you've made about Christian apologists isn't true for more than a small minority we are somehow promoting Christian apologetics is incredibly stupid. It's a very, very stupid argument, and someone with your obvious mastery of written English should be above such childish tactics.
I was certainly game to have a go at it, but the link wouldn't work. Then I noticed that you'd edited out the above challenge. I'm still up for it, if you'll point me to the question. Or did you delete it because you were afraid someone might answer it?
Ah yes, my mistake. You linked to a blog by Evan Minton, who is so influential in the field of Christian apologetics that his blog post on the subject has had zero replies since December of 2017. Again, this is not evidence that the assertion you make about Christian beliefs is common orthodoxy. It's still just a small subset of religious apologists, and it coexist with other religious apologists who claim differently. That's the thing about made-up belief systems. There's usually a great deal of contradiction amongst their adherents.
No, I did not. I simply misremembered when you had first presented an example. Neither I nor anyone else has claimed that no apologist has ever claimed to have a problem with the notion of infinity, only with your implication that this position is common.
I'm only defending them from one thing, and that's another liar.
I do miss the full blown theists we used to have here. Not the maybe-there-is-some-kind-of-higher-power kind but the ones who swallow everything, hook, line and sinker. I actually admired the fortitude of the ones who were able to take the heat here from all us atheists.
"They're just mad at God". Yeah right, I'm just mad at Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy as well. Idiots.
"Fundamentalist atheist" is used in two ways:
