I wouldn't have used the word "nihilistic" in this case. However, I do find that you and others like you, here (and, no, I'm not referring to the atheists collectively, here at TFP), have a tendency to reduce the greatest qualities of mankind – e.g. intelligence, free will, love, faith – down to their most base elements, thereby making those qualities seem small and maybe even insignificant. IMHO, you guys come off sounding all brains and no heart, all intellect and no soul.

Methinks you over-analyze my posts. You shouldn't be so anal about catching me in a contradiction, or spotting some factual error in my posts, upon which you can pounce. It's like you're looming over my posts, waiting for a chance to say, "Ah ha! Caught you... !"
