@Anon #1: Give an example of how atheists "clearly demonstrate" foolish and illogical behavior. If you were referring to the above comment - "the Christian religion wants to infantilize its members" - that was clearly a joke. A joke with some truth to it. :P

It always amazes me how Christians are unable (and unwilling) to back up anything they say with evidence, yet are still quite convinced they're in the right.

It's not a matter of explaining how atheists are being foolish. Foolishness exists on both sides. What I think is more relevant is for either side to get beyond the name-calling and blanket statements that reveal the ignorance of the one making them. For example, I opened my previous comment with "it always amazes me how atheists ...". Next comes the blanket statement. Did I really mean ALL atheists? No. Then I should speak in such a way as proves I don't, otherwise I'm guilty of broad-stroking and in doing so may misrepresent any point I'm trying to make or mislead the listener in some fashion. Ignorance can abound in such an environment and, sadly, does.

Of course ignorance exists on both sides of the God debate, no one is claiming to be infallible.

Rather than calling atheists foolish, why don't you explain how they are being foolish?

It always amazes me how atheists accuse Christians of being so foolish and illogical, of misrepresenting the facts or rejecting them outright and then turn around and clearly demonstrate the same pattern of attitude and behaviour. It's pretty clear ignorance exists on both sides of the God debate.

Yep, the Christian religion wants to infantilize its members.

That's a fun one, especially juxtaposed with Luke 18:17 "Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein."

One of my favorite bible verses is in chapter 13: "When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put aside childish things" (v. 11). It's about time Christians put away childish things, like imaginary friends.
