...I do have use for atheists. The whole situation has been amusing to me: after several years of mocking Goddists of all stripes, "The Raving Atheist" has promised to stop making fun of Christians. The fellow atheists on the site immediately began worrying that he had converted and started spouting all sorts of vile things about him [in addition to their normal mockery of Christians and other "godidiots" [one of their very clever terms]].
It boggles the mind. Perhaps he is converting, but I'd bet against it. Atheism per se is a distinctly Christian phenomenon. If God exists, one can either love Him or hate Him: one cannot live as if He did not exist. Hence the violence of atheists. Which seems to be the more well-grounded type of atheist: the sort who wishes that God exists, but can't believe, or the sort who hates God and refuses to believe even if it were true? The sort who constantly insults God, Christians, and people who believe things, or the sort who doesn't say a thing against them? Most of the atheists I know, fortunately, aren't the militant sort one finds on "The Raving Atheist", which lends their reactions to his posts their perverse charm.
