So many atheists are ruled by emotion

It's amazing how easy it is to reduce atheists to a miserable mass of quivering feeling, devoid of reason or common sense.

All I did was tweet this:


And got a firestorm!
My favorite tweet in the ruckus was this one:
And then it got even better:



I had to bow out after somewhere around 50 attempts on my part to get these atheists to reason consistently. Canard after canard after canard... I don't think a single one of them had ever even thought about my challenge before. I didn't have time to keep up with all of the shambling inanity, so this combox is an open invitation to anyone who would question me on the matter.

"So many atheists are ruled by emotion"

Perhaps many of them are atheists precisely because they are ruled by emotions.

And not by reason as many of them emotionally claim.

Why is why atheists believe that rape is immoral an issue?

Generally when someone questions the basis for a claim it is because they disagree with the claim. Examination of the reasons behind a claim when one doesn't necessarily disagree is usually part of a meta-discussion.

Now meta-ethics weren't the issue raised by Steven Zoeller. And when there is an effort to reduce instances of rape, meta-ethical discussions seem at best a side-issue. (I'm sure you don't disagree with the claim).

Curiosity misplaced?

That may be, but there are exceptions, this being one of them.

Correct. Rare is the atheist who evinces enough intellectual aptitude to interact on even a basic level about that topic. I raised it, though, hoping to expose that lack of aptitude and deep thinking to anyone who has eyes to see.

Rebellion against the lordship of Jesus Christ is a yet more serious matter, however.
