[New]Atheists are Boring?

At least, that's what Charlotte Allen, in the Los Angeles Times, thinks! Allen writes:

"What primarily seems to motivate atheists isn't rationalism but anger -- anger that the world isn't perfect, that someone forced them to go to church as children, that the Bible contains apparent contradictions, that human beings can be hypocrites and commit crimes in the name of faith. The vitriol is extraordinary. Hitchens thinks that "religion spoils everything." Dawkins contends that raising one's offspring in one's religion constitutes child abuse. Harris argues that it "may be ethical to kill people" on the basis of their beliefs. The perennial atheist litigant Michael Newdow sued (unsuccessfully) to bar President Obama from uttering the words "so help me God" when he took his oath of office.

What atheists don't seem to realize is that even for believers, faith is never easy in this world of injustice, pain and delusion. Even for believers, God exists just beyond the scrim of the senses. So, atheists, how about losing the tired sarcasm and boring self-pity and engaging believers seriously?"

Check out her entire article, entitled Atheists: No God, No Reason, just whining...superstar atheists are motivated by anger-and boohoo victim hood.

Further, you can check out PZ Myers' (who was mentioned in Allen's article) response here. I believe Myers serves to prove a few of Allen's points. Can you include anymore straw men than he does here?

You can also hear Dr. William's Lane Craig's (Craig has debated Christopher Hitchens) comments about Allen's article here.

Finally, in this short little audio (2:17), Dr. Craig and Kevin Harris discuss the oft repeated claim that an atheist is someone who simple "lacks belief in God..." Check it out here. Thanks Apologetics 315.

Courage and Godspeed,
