Wrong for more than one reason, here's a start:
It's insane to fear what one thinks is nonexistant.
The nonbeliever has the courage to think that there is no being that
is responsible for us, guides us, created us etc, the nonbeliever does
not need a supernatural daddy/boss/gawd like a skeered little fundy,
after all, you fear your gawd, you delusionists say that shit all the
time.

Humankind is on its own, and we are not afraid to face that fact
square on, you are frickin quaking in your booties, pussy.
>You want to be your own god, don't you?

Are you projecting? Are you so stupid that you think an atheist is
competing with or wants to be something that he/she thinks doesn't
exist?

Because people act on their beliefs in the supernatural.
> What is it about the supernatural that scares atheists?

Ask the victims of 9/11. Beliefs can kill.

What is this bullshit about "fear of the lord"?
Explain how you don't reject gawd, you are in the group "people"
right? Fearing the lord is a popular spouting of fundies, tell me
"afraid" and "fear" are not related.
What makes you and all other believers exceptions to your statement?

How daft can they get?
Just when you think you have seen it all some new stupidity
emerges.

What is it about alt.atheism that it attracts such silly comments
like this? My guess is fear. These twits are scared to death of
us.

Yes they may tell us this post is just a 'joke' to provoke us and
they may laugh at us jumping in with responces but it is the
underlying reason why they do this that matters here because
in reality they are deadly serious. Their laughter is the
nervous laughter of those in deep fear.

I'm not speaking for raven, but I suggest that hating people because
of an opposing opinion is the hallmark of a close-minded religionist,
like you perhaps?
