I understand the discourse between us now - I appreciate what you have said.
My statements may be a little too ambiguous for some - I apologise. A word of wisdom to all: be sure not to take every word I say literally.
"What does evolution have to do with anything?"
I said that because I felt that in saying "Atheism is also not a system of belief" you were suggesting that atheism is factual.
"I'm not quite sure what my agenda here is. Honestly."
Neither am I, hence the ambiguity of my claim.
"someone has not been exposed to too many atheists and atheistic thought. It's patently prejudiced and just plain absurd."
That's where you come undone. I assure you that a significant number of my friends and associations are atheists. Furthermore, my sister is an atheism enthusiast, so I have been to a number of talks around Melbourne on the subject of atheism, and have been blessed with suffering words of Richard Dawkins both by day and by night.
So no, my statements are not "patently prejudiced and just plain absurd" in my considerable experience, though perhaps you cannot say the same.
