Not mine.

You can have radicals of every philosophy, and that includes atheism. I myself know several atheists that could be called radical because of their stark opposition to theism. Some atheists use atheism as a soap box from which to shout their beliefs and some become just as polarized as their theist fundamental counterparts. In my mind, these are opposing sides of the same coin. Their beliefs are fundamentally opposed, but their tact and intent is the same. They shout, like, and battle in order to beat into the other side their beliefs instead of talking in a calm and rational way. The reason they do that has a lot to do with why so many people listen to madmen like Pat Robertson. Often it is the craziest voice that is the loudest and thus the most oft heard by those who are in a place to listen. In pummeling you with BS, that atheist was trying to make a point so strongly and so extremely that his position cannot be ignored. It's a childish way to make a point, and it shows the real mental faculties of the person who tries to use such a weak tactic.


Not all atheists are crazies, and not all Christians are crazies. Not to worry.
