Here are my ten favourite assumptions, insults, and accusations thrown at me by PZ Myer’s angry horde.
- That I chose to use the word “seem” in the title because I don’t think atheists are capable of being nice.
- That the “curiosities” column creates revenue for me/is advertising and I wrote this post in order to receive the attention I did.
- That I would censor comments, or that I was doing so, because I was scared of criticism.
- That I would hatch a conspiracy theory regarding my site’s demise and blame atheist hackers.
- That no Christian has ever read anything about the formation of the Bible or church history and that we are completely unaware of criticism of that process.
- That noise = victory and silence = an admission of defeat.
- That if God exists human morality should still trump morality as ordained by God.
- That just because they’ve given a name to a school of thought… and their philosophical leaders have rebutted it… everyone should fall into line and stop using arguments they disagree with.
- That no Christian knows how to use the Old Testament, or deal with difficult philosophical positions created by a God society does not agree with.
- That atheist scholarship regarding the Bible and Christianity is more objective than Christian or independent scholarship.
