Revision as of 23:33, March 4, 2008
'Atheists say they disbelieve God exists, but then are often hostile to God'. Sorry, no. Some are hostile to prayer and the worship of God, as they see it as a complete waste of time to pray to and worship someone who simply doesn't exist. In my experience, though, most simply shake their head and leave the religious folk to what they consider to be their delusional fantasies, so not only does this statement fail to be a 'logical contradiction', it's not even accurate.

- Not true. Atheists insist on censoring classroom prayer. See Talk:School prayer. That censorship cannot be explained by citing disbelief. Atheists do not, for example, insist on censoring other things in the classroom that they disbelieve in, such patriotism.--Aschlafly 17:08, 4 March 2008 (EST)
- Aschlafly, I'm confused. You say evolution shouldn't be taught in school, citing your own disbelief, and then turn around and proclaim that prayer should be in schools, disregarding others' disbelief. Barikada 17:54, 4 March 2008 (EST)
- (inserted reply) Classroom prayer does not require anyone to embrace a concept to obtain a good grade, as evolution indoctrination does. That's a big difference, obviously.--Aschlafly 18:31, 4 March 2008 (EST)

what is the contradiction here?
Mr. Aschlafly, May be I am thick, but I don't understand what is the logical contradiction here.--JBuscombe 18:03, 4 March 2008 (EST)
