I know you believe you are one.

Now get this:

Despite what you are telling me, I know that you are NOT an Atheist.
Unless you can present a valid argument, to substantiate your claim that I am not an atheist, then it's perfectly reasonable for me to deny your claim and declare that you know nothing of the sort. Being far more knowledgable of my own mind and beliefs than you are gives me the upper hand in this debate.

What I get is that you're using distorted logic, unsound reasoning, and insulting language, in an attempt to legitimize your claim.

I think I do. I just don't agree with you.
I've presented a valid criticism that reveals the illegitimacy of your argument. If this kind of infantile rhetoric is what you consider to be a good defense of your tactics then there can be no reasonable dialogue between us.

The truth of your claim has yet to be demonstrated. So far, your arguments have been unsound and fall short of your objective. Care to try another route? Take your time. I'll be here when, or if, you're ready to continue.

If that's so, then why are you unable to present an argument that isn't based on distorted logic and unsound reasoning?

Feel free to say whatever you want to say, Barbara.

I know you're not an Atheist regardless of how much you believe and claim you are.

Bye bye, and have a Merry Christmas.

But God wrote his dictionary, so he can't possibly be wrong about his opinions of what everyone else believes.

Go ahead and tally up your votes, folks.

The final judgment will come soon enough, and then you'll find out who and/or what you worshipped.

At last... something we can agree on. Let the readers decide for themselves whether or not our arguments can withstand critical scrutiny.

Somehow, I doubt it, but that shouldn't surprise you coming from an actual atheist such as myself.
