Good will to all men? Not from the grumpy atheists! (Thank God not all atheists are grumpy but there sure seems to be a lot of them)
Why is it that so many in the atheist community cannot bring themselves to get past their anger whenever they engage in discussions? The language of many of their contributions in public debate is laced with invective and dripping with sarcasm and bile. There are exceptions of course, but they tend to fall more into the category of being the 'exception that proves the rule' when compared to the hostility of many of today's atheist posters.

If one abandons that rule all forms of assertions can be equally valid. Also one can't prove a negative. One can't disprove God or Gods in the same way one can't disprove astrology or homeopathy, one has to give objective evidence to support them. Failing that, then one withholds assent.
