Widest variety of positions? Atheists just live their lives. Most are not as vocal as Richard Dawkins. Some of us just wish to live productive, good lives ...no positions...no agendas.
Do you think atheists are high maintenance? Hmmmm? Lol
Well......in a way.
Some of the arguments I hear about needing "objective evidence" and quite a bit of philosophical blah blah that some people seem to demand before they'll even consider a position seem to wreak of either desperate denial, or whatever they might want to call it. At the same time, they'll make decisions about important things throughout their lives based on nothing more than emotions or other impulses not governed by much thought. I've been trying to point this out lately, but my argument gets brushed aside and the topic gets derailed. Oh well, at least I tried.

The writers of the bible are the ones you have an issue with if you don't agree with what they wrote.
-_- there is no atheist agenda, I don't understand why people think there is one.
You have to admit that you pretty much invite some comment on your screen name when you call yourself a manchild.
So you come here to judge.
It's nice to see an unbeliever finally admit that what happens as a result other peoples' beliefs and actions can affect them. Up to this point, I've only heard that the atheistic views expressed by some here are nothing I should be concerned about because it doesn't affect me or how I live. Looks like you and I are of the same mind.

There we go again. Making statements and then when your called out on it you shift the blame.
How one lives his/her life, is probably the best ''testimony'' as to what he/she believes. Religious or atheists, if they don't walk the talk, what good is the talk?Everyone has a philosophy or a position on things, even if the answer is, "I don't know". I'm not saying that atheists all act on their ideas, but to say that they don't have the ideas at all is absurd.
For example: what is a good, productive life? How you answer this is a position you hold.

You're not merely commenting. You're trying to imply something about my mental faculties, because you have no other recourse at this point.
If all I did was come here to 'judge', I'd only be lurking. I wouldn't have even created an account.
You seem to have forgotten already, so here, again, are my reasons for being here,
-Public scrutiny of irrational beliefs
-Staying informed on theistic beliefs
-It's interesting
I find it very hard to believe you've never once heard an unbeliever tell you that, for example, they don't appreciate American Christians attempting to legislate 'Biblical morality', but I suppose it's possibly you just haven't been paying attention.
Shift the blame? Is that what it's called now? Someone claims something that is based on the bible, so then the atheist inevitably demands, "Give us your source!", and then when the Christian directs them to what the bible says as the source, it's called "shifting the blame".
The atheist tactic of staying on the offensive, brushing aside all claims, and even making accusations against a person's motives for answering the atheist's questions. Doesn't make for much of a discussion. More like an interrogation.
But you said yourself on another topic that you pretty much don't have any independant thought on the things you parrot. So we are never having a discussion with you and your personal feelings.
