Intellectual Honesty

I am tired of being intellectually honest when religious apologists don’t even bother. Recently, I read an article by a theist which was quite frankly, extremely intellectually dishonest. Should we play that game too?

The article started out being friendly and the author made a point to say that he had many atheist friends and that he has read atheist books and then he got unfriendly and made statements that were so absurd that it seemed like he never stepped out of the comfort of his fellow believers, researched anything at all, and just didn’t think. Unless he got into a horrible car accident and lost all memory of everything he read in those atheist books, I have a hard time believing that he was attempting to be intellectually honest.

Religious apologists do this all the time. They make up a bunch of ridiculous stuff (aside from their religion) and they keep repeating it over and over again. For example, when they say that Hitler was an atheist, it takes more faith to be an atheist, that atheists have no morals, we eat babies, etc., etc.

Why is it that I am always the one who researches my answers to these ridiculous questions? I am the one who finds scientific studies and data to post in response to some of this stuff when all the theist does is repeat ridiculous talking points over and over again.

Maybe we should make up a bunch of stuff too. The problem is that I don’t even know how to be intellectually dishonest if I tried. Ever time I think of a ridiculous question to ask, it seems less ridiculous than the religion it is mocking. Not long ago, I jokingly asked if God was a vampire. At first I was just being silly, but as it turns out it seems like a pretty valid question given the ridiculousness of the religion. Oh well, I guess you can’t be intellectually dishonest when arguing against something so ridiculous.
