Not surprising really, offence is your only defence if you’re wrong. coughatheiststoo.

That’s why many if not most athiests deal with facts. It’s a safer bet.

I like how you tried to contradict what I said by insinuating that theists don’t deal with facts.

Nice offence, if you think you have any rational defence for atheism, take it to the philosophy section so as not to go off topic.
 
“You are pious and honest people, who cannot do anything but calumniate and lie.”

Yes, I had to Google “calumniate.”

I bet his classes were lively ones.
 
They’re a lot funnier if you imagine Rowan Atkinson (of Blackadder) saying them.

“You are such an accursed, ungrateful wretch that you will not give a child into training for the maintenance of the gifts of God. You have everything, all of it free of charge; yet you show not a particle of gratitude. Instead you let God’s kingdom and the salvation of people’s souls go to ruin; you even help to destroy them. Ought not God to be angry over this? Ought not famine to come? Ought not pestilence, flu, and syphilis find us out? Ought not blind, fierce, and savage tyrants come to power? Ought not war and contention arise? Ought not evil regimes appear in our lands? Ought not our enemies plunder us? Indeed, it would not be surprising if God were to open the doors and windows of hell and pelt and shower us with nothing but devils, or let brimstone and hell-fire rain down from heaven and inundate us one and all in the abyss of hell, like Sodom and Gomorrah.”

Note that this came From "A Sermon on Keeping Children in School"

Just the thing for an opening address for a Parents & Citizens Meeting. That’d keep 'em in line.
 
Are you ignorant of what it means to be ignorant?

And
The reward of such flattery is what your crass stupidity deserves. Therefore, we shall turn from you, a sevenfold stupid and blasphemous wise person.
