I agree totally with your sentiments, but Bruce D confines his attack to atheists, whereas your comment is general. My objection is mainly to the one-sidedness of his approach. - I think he was attacking the 'smug' atheist know-it-all. As I've mentioned I've been attacked the same way. Only some atheists are like that.

> Interestingly Bruce D highlights the fact that Antony Flew "has always respected those with whom he disagreed". Bruce D clearly does not. He focuses solely on the smug atheist, as "one who has identified yourself as a member of the elite who know the obvious truth of things"...... David T, on the other hand, calls for open-mindedness among theists as well as atheists. Now that I applaud. - You should have included agnostics in that last sentence. And smug atheists should be attacked, especially in the way they treat the rest of us.
