[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you care what atheists think?

Same reason, just the opposite perspective.

I will note that not one atheist I know complains when a theist attempts to defend their position.  They relish the chance to discuss it, in fact.

Wonder why that is?[/quote]

When atheists represent God incorrectly (God gives babies cancer) is when I care.

If I posted that atheists sacrifice babies to Satan you would care, because it’s an obvious and disgusting lie.

Constantly posting that God gives babies cancer and allows them to suffer and dir because He is a cruel bastard is definitely on that level. It’s not true.[/quote]

Atheist here and I wouldn’t care. Maybe some atheists do? That doesn’t mean all do, and I know that I don’t.

I know who I am and what I believe. Words can’t hurt me, but they can teach me. I keep an open, critical mind. Maybe ask yourself why you feel defensive if someone criticizes your religion or the actions of people who share your religion? Or not. It’s your life.[/quote]

Critical examination of religion is great.

Repeating that God gives babies cancer is not critical examination of religious beliefs.

Is stating that atheists sacrifice babies to Satan critical examination of atheism?[/quote]

No, it is a strawman, off topic, non-sequitur response to a reasonable, millennia-old philosophical question about the existence of god. [/quote]
