Lol, what a stupid statement.

No it isn't, it's trying to show that intelligent design has no place in education, besides in religious education. Do try and actually read the page.
I'm glad someone gets it.

What that means is, that like a lot of Atheist around this has just turned into another "I'm smarter than you because I don't believe that some guy with a beard is in the clouds controlling our lives.". A lot of them are smug (at least in my experience) merely because they believe in what we can see, hear, touch, etc, and they can't be wrong that exists because it's reality. Atheism can be just as judgemental and intolerant as Christianity (or any other religion). My point is, essentially, let bygones be bygones.

A book that every Atheist should read is What's So Great About Christianity? by Dinesh D'Souza.

I've read that, I've read Why I Am Not A Muslim by Ibn Waraq, The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins and I've read God is Not Great by Christopher Hutchins.
And I was being serious, read What's So Great About Christianity. It's only about 15 bucks at Barnes&Noble.

He agrues in favor of design without quoting any scripture which means nothing to a secular. Excellent book.

So you quote a nasty little generalization about atheists (which is almost entirely false), give it thumbs up like it's entirely correct, then give us a book to read?
Sweet argument.
🙄
And try not being so hateful toward others. It works wonders.

Also, I found this quote from the above review to be a nice microcosm of his case for Christianity:
What is amazing, then, is that his arguments for Christianity in Chapter 25 consist almost exclusively of straightforward assertions of Christian doctrine. Almost nothing he says would be persuasive to someone with a different religious view.
The arguments Dinesh uses are nothing new to the argment for theism, and they are delivered by him with obviously less aplomb than more accomplished apologists.

Fair enough, but there's hateful and condescending Christians too, or people of any faith. To relate one with the other is a false generalization.

Not really. He didn't say there aren't Christians of that sort. In fact he implied it is less so with Atheists, but it has to be said that 90% of Atheists are still dumb ****s. Not believing in God doesn't make you a better person suddenly. Christians get a huge amount of shit, and most justified, but you have to see that Atheists aren't better for the most part. They are just as stupid and have just as stupid ideals just not in regard of one tiny thing...

I agree.
Some athiests tend to imagine they are smarter because they don't fall into what they beleive to be a "fairy tale". Although Belief and Knowledge are two different things, that does not mean a lack of beleif=knowledge.
