I briefly entertained an argument session over here at skepticmoney. In a short time I annoyed the resident Atheists, and along with the standard errors in argumentation, I was called “a typical godbot”, “insufferable”, “pedant”, “twisting logic” (without any further explanation of what was twisted), “haven’t reached the seventh grade level”, “fuckwit”, “fucking waste of brain cells,” “too scared to face the real world,” and charged with Gishing after answering a request for Atheist logical errors with a list of ten, which apparently overloaded their mental systems.
I very rarely comment on Atheist blogs; But sometimes it is interesting to see if they have any new defamations to use on me.

I wonder what it is with atheists (and liberals) that brings out so much emotion in them, especially when they begin to feel defeated?
I have a feeling that a rational challenge to the Atheist worldview is seen as an assault on their erroneously perceived personal status as "elitist intellects"; the faux status is without any basis in actual intellectual activity or ability. So a threat cannot successfully be met intellectually and therefore must be met with angry emotion and group bullying.
My experience with the professional philosophers (those guys who never left school) is that when challenged, they will stop the discussion altogether. And imply that it is a waste of their precious time, since they are above such things as addressing rational challenges.
The ideology is more important than disciplined thought, and preservation of the ideology is the most important thing to them. This is especially true in an environment where truth, being relative, has no value, while the Atheist ideology has social, professional, and emotional benefits.
