You might be an fundamentalist atheist if....

....Nomad decides you are because he can't refute your argument! (Yes, I speak from personal experience.)

A very INTERESTING link ... finally I actually smiled when reading it.

Vork: :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

One note though...

26.You believe the astronomical size of the universe somehow
disproves God, as if God needed a tiny universe in order to exist.

Christian has clearly confused some atheist argument here....so dumb cannot reply.

This believe it or not is a real and for true atheist argument: I was very amused to read it in an opinion article in my local newspaper a couple of months ago! The logic was that science has proved the universe is big, therefore God does not exist.
(And you guys moan about the quality of public Christian argumentation!)

8.You became an atheist when you were 10 years old, based on ideas of God that you learned in Sunday School. Your ideas about God haven't changed since.

11 years old, and I learned about god from....Isaac Asimov!

Hmmm... didn't start attending Sunday School until I was 10, started having doubts soon after Confirmation (at 14), and my ideas have changed greatly over the last several years!

19.You can't remember if she was Mother or Sister Teresa, but you can name every pedophile priest listed in the media over the last seven years.

Nonsense. Nobody could remember so many names....

I remember that she was Mother Teresa, and she wasn't quite as nice and selfless as we are led to believe.

The rest of your list is very good, Vorkosigan! :notworthy

Reminds me of the joke with the punch line that talks about running a waste line right through a pleasure area (or some such thing).

48.You spell "God" with a lower case "g," add an "E" to "B.C.," and replace the word "Christ" with an "x." Yet, when asked to name the planets you have no problem with spouting out the appropriate list of Roman Gods. Heck, you'll even spell them with capital letters!

Response: Yes, it is grammatically correct to capitalize the names of proper place names such as Venus, Mars and Jupiter. I also capitalize St. Louis, St. Paul and San Diego. What's your point?

That webpage should be taken off the internet.

The only thing correct was this:

Quote:

You claim poker-faced that "social Darwinism" and its spawn of eugenics have absolutely no connection to the biological theories propounded by Charles Darwin in "On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life"

Everything else is completely false and utterly laughable.
