what are your thoughts on this?

I was spying in the A room, (Bad me, I know) and I ran across this . . .
You have such contempt for Christians, it's funny. I mean, really. I can feel your anger, your dislike of them. Keep it up, however, be careful if you show it too much. You push and you push and you push. That's the key to Atheism.
This is from the thread "Atheist Academy".

Thoughts anyone?
It is a first class human tragedy that people of the earth who claim to believe in the message of Jesus, whom they describe as the Prince of Peace, show little of that belief in actual practice.

I thought I might set your mind at ease. Viewing the posts in the A Room is not being bad. We all realize that the room is open to all viewers, you are just not allowed to post there. BTW, we can view the Holy Huddle Room too.

What kind of thoughts do you want? Some atheists do have contempt, even hatred towards Christians. This is perhaps honest but not noble, honourable or tolerant, and does not lead to useful dialog. Perhaps that is why the so-called Atheist Academy did not thrive.
The key to atheism is to push and push and push? Rubbish! The key to winning debate is to push and push and push. The key to finding truth and to routing out error is to push and push and push for evidence, reason and logic. The key to atheism is to not believe in the supernatural.
Examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.
First Epistle to the Church of the Thessalonians
The truth will make you free.
Gospel of John

Actually to answer your first question, this is exactly what I meant by thoughts. Thanks. I am curious how many people subscribe to these ideas.

I suspect that the atheists that do are the 'ex-chrisitans' who feel feel they have been hurt by their old reliigion.

No one hates smoking more than an ex-smoker.

As has been pointed out...the 'key to atheism' is to not have a belief in the existence of god(s). Views on any other issue that a particular atheist may or may not hold is irrelevent to atheism per se.
"Whatever you are totally ignorant of, assert to be the explanation of everything else"

William James quoting Dr. Hodgson

"When I see I am nothing, that is wisdom. When I see I am everything, that is love. My life is a movement between these two."
