The problem with the modern Atheist movement is that they are Ardent Authoritarians.

This is why the only Atheist that I actually respect is Penn Jillette.

That’s definitely at the heart of the militant atheists.

The so called New Athiests in particular make me laugh out loud. They are especially full of that peculiar blend of ignorance, arrogance, and flat out stupid that make the lefties so charming.

You admit to RESPECTING an atheist?

These people, including Penn Jillette, deserve no respect. Funny wisecracks do not redeem damnation by God. Giving even one of them respect is an insult to God. Please consider long and hard what you are doing.

I guess it’s useful to see which side you’ve really lined up with, despite paying lip service to belief.

"Jillette was born in Greenfield, Massachusetts. His mother, Valda R. Jillette (née Parks; 1909–2000), was a secretary, and his father, Samuel Herbert Jillette (1912–1999), worked at Greenfield's Franklin County Jail.
Penn became an atheist in his early teens after reading the Bible and was subsequently asked to leave the church after asking questions in a youth group that also made skeptics of his peers."

Imho, this was a failure on the part of his church.
