Response to "You guys are bad representatives of atheism!!!" people 2007-11-01 00:40:46 I found this article on the USAToday website. It's written by Nica Lalli and is a thoughtful piece that makes the very valid counter-point to all of the people who carelessly lob the accusation at us (or others, such as Christopher Hitchens here) that "You guys are bad representatives of atheism!"

He seems to maintain journalistic integrity and doesn't appear particularly biased--until you get to the last sentence: Quote: And that’s the main problem for atheist evangelisers: just because something isn’t true doesn’t mean it’s not real. Huh? Could you repeat that? O_O Bookmark/Search this post with: | | | | | | | ...
