    We are enemies. We should not get along. We cannot get along. And until thinking and reasoning prevail, there is no reason to consider them human. They aren't. Humans do good things, and believe in helping humanity. They scarcely do anything good, and that's more than negated by the fire and brimstone they spew at simple people in foreign countries and innocent children that they constantly have to birth.

    From the page: "We Aren't Enemies" Wrong. In the Abrahamic religions, those who are not a part of Judaism, Christianity, or Islam are enemies of that religion. Atheism doesn't make enemies because it is not a belief system and doesn't dictate who to hate. The reason atheists aren't stoned to death (in mass) today is religious folk do not get their moral views from religion but rather society. Afterwards they cherry pick passages from their respective books to support their views.

    From the page: "We Aren't Logical Machines"Wrong. He equates being "logical" with being right, which doesn't necessarily follow. A logical conclusion based on incorrect data will be incorrect.I'm with Alan Turing on this; we're all essentially biological machines, based on logic and psychological conditioning. Everything we do can eventually be traced down to that. I know not everyone agrees with me on this, but I'm not willing to "compromise" just because it will make some theists like me more.

    Thumbs up for making some good points (especially #3 and #4). I took exception to the first, though. Intellectual honesty does not require that we admit something is theoretically possible. If I claimed that the moon was made up of cheese and that all historical and scientific evidence was fabricated by a cabal of tiny elves living in my wallet, would intellectual honesty require you to say : "Well, I don't believe it, but it's theoretically possible." I agree that atheists need to understand that religion is deeply emotional, and that pure appeals to logic are doomed to fail, but there is absolutely no burden on atheists to admit "theoretical possibility." Yes, it's possible the Christian, Muslim, or Judaic god does exist. It also possible that invisible monkeys are flying above your head right now. I concede the possibility of the first with the same conviction the religious concede the possibility of the second.

    A great article on what we can all agree on. A good attempt at ending the emotional stigma against the "other guys".
