I took the liberty of sending him a reply to the question he posed:

This message is in response to a question you posed to an atheist that you may or may not remember (quasi-question, mostly just a testament to your ignorance). In case you don't remember what the question was, I'll quote you: "Since ALL of the original American principles were founded on the Judain Christian concept, in your own idiology your not even an American or to call yourself an American would be just another lie correct?
Have a nice 4th of July though its truth should like wise be as offensive as God is to you.
Christopher"

Well, I'll keep this short so as not to keep you from spreading more jibberish to TRUE americans who value their freedom of and from religion.

First, which Judain Christian concept are you referring to? If you are referring to the current moderate ones of tolerance and love, your ever so eloquent message embodies neither of those, since you apparently have no respect for the views of anyone who doesn't share your own views.

Now, if you are referring to the ACTUAL Judain Christian concepts of hate, bigotry, racism, violence, and an absurd sense of righteousness, YOU may practice and follow these beliefs, but America was not founded on them. On the contrary, America was founded as a beacon of freedom in response to those beliefs you speak of. You may have American history mistaken for Nazi Germany, or perhaps Spain during the Inquisition days, or possibly even any part of Europe during the religious Dark Ages.

It is most unfortunate that not only do you have no tolerance for rational thought, but you seem to have no respect for the history of the country that (I assume) you are a citizen of.

In close, I am happy to inform you that atheists all over this great nation, including myself, had an absolutely splendid Independence Day. Though we do appreciate all views presented to us, we would appreciate it if next time you took the common courtesy of depositing your fecal matter in your toilet instead of in the in-boxes of your fellow countrymen and women.

How can you respond to THAT? It's not even readable.

I'd have to say it's unfortunate this guy hasn't really taken the time to get to know the person he's addressing first before trying to make his point (whatever it ultimately was).

So I think the critical response to his less-than-respectable tenor is probably warranted. Still I don't know that I'd agree with this vigilante "I'll enlist the help of other atheists to gang up on some person who may be fun to pick on".

My take on it is next time something like that happens, just ignore it. Heck, there's a lot of writing I see in these forums that amount to little more than less-than-rational editorializing, even among those you'd expect should be producing more thoughtful material; but since I know atheism to have much more robust representation by others than such "spokespeople", I think it better to devote my attention to those folks. In the economy of one's time, you've just got to pick your battles, or you'll forever just be using others as mere sources of entertainment rather than learning. I'd say just take the moral high ground and let the guy rant.

I'm not sure if I fully understand your positions. You are admitting there are people who not only hold these beliefs, but also make the conscious decision to push it on others yet we should simply say "oh well, let them believe what they want to believe?" Especially beliefs from people as delusional as this man? If anything, we should be permitted by any set of morals to use this guy as a case study for fundamentalists. If we choose to ignore those ideas that we are so opposed to, how does that help our case? I say, when someone makes comments such as this guy, we should not only be allowed to laugh at him, we should feel morally compelled to.

Why are you saying "our" case, as if your case is my case? Clearly your case is very seperate from mine.

Feel free to start a show doing it your way. We'll gladly be guests on your show, as you know you've had an invitation to come on ours.

A drawing made for atheist radio host with the Infidel Guy:

It would seem so. That was close. *whew*

How kind of you to offer to give them to me off the board. Honestly, I don't need the reasons. However if you are so inclined to make them public, I have no qualms with that. I may or may not object if they do come out. I extended the invitation as a courtesy, so that you're views may be expressed, choosing not to accept is no sweat off my back. I'll just keep going with the Ray Comforts and the freaks who think they're Jesus. (you left out Bill from fishdontwalk.com)

I LOVE when those christians throw this whole 'God in the constitution is the Christian God, so Christianity must be the correct religion and you're all wrong'. THen you get to calmly explain how, in fact, the term God in the Constitution is a ambiguous term. While it's in reference to a higher power, certainly, it never mentions christianity. Then you get to go on and tell them to study their founding fathers more closely and they'll see that the majority of the Founding Fathers weren't Christian, they were Deist, which is completely different.

I posted a blog about this on my MySpace page. Someone (www.myspace.com/iamfilth) posted a comment about it (since he is a stranger to me and was not very nice, I deleted his comment, but responded in a private message to him.) It is as follows. My comments to his post are in the < >'s.

<Since I don't know you, I'd prefer that you not post any comments on my blog. (Your comment has been deleted.) I will, however, answer your questions.>

Are you really 30?

<Yes.>

Because I'm wondering why someone who's 30 is acting like they're still in high school.

<Someone with your display pic should not comment on how juvenile another acts.>

Are you an atheist or agnostic?

<Atheist.>

Being an atheist seems just as bad as being a Christian.

<You can either be an atheist (non-believer) or a theist (believer). There are no other options.>

You can't prove that there is a God,

<You are right. You can't prove any god's existence. This is why I am an atheist.>

and you can't prove that there isn't.

<Right again. You can't prove a negative. The burden of proof is on the person making the claim.>

You can believe that there is, or you can believe that there isn't. It's the same choice just on opposite sides of the spectrum. I don't see why this seem to be such a big deal to you. You don't believe in God. Okay? Is that all there is to you, because that's how it appears. Is this your cause for living?

<This is not my "cause" for living. My non-belief is just as important to me as someone's religion is to them. It's a large part of who I am.>

"So, a Christian sent me a message through a website on a computer talking about how my beliefs are wrong. I don't see why someone would do that. Maybe it has to do with how it's thrown in the face of anyone who stumbles across the page I made. I mean, I guess if I take a good look at it, it appears that I don't do anything but deny the existance of God. Anyway, I had to reply to this Christian because I'm right and he/she's wrong, even though I have just as little proof as they do. And at work today this really cute guy walked by and I almost died. Like, oh your God, you guys should have seen him. He was dreamy. Now I'm gonna go lie down and write about him in my diary. TTFN"

<Sending me (a complete stranger) a message is one thing, but mocking or insulting me is not OK. If this issue is not important to you, don't respond to my blog about it.>

Ok, thanks.
