P.Z. Myers
knows that souls do not exist. He also thinks that the prospects of unaccountable non-existence somehow makes atheism the braver choice, with others who believe in a Day of Judgment being the can't-face-the-music wussies. All righty, then.

Yeah, that old Christian belief about being in danger of eternal torment after death is very obviously just a wish-fulfilment fantasy.

In the post Basil's Car ... and Justice, I explore Dawkins' intellectual dishonesty.
The thing about all these so-called atheists is that they don't actually believe the things they assert and attempt to brow-beat others into believing -- a real atheist would be a nihilist; a real atheist would understand that were atheism the truth about the nature of reality, then nothing at all matters. For, *everything* is ending. And yet, here are all these vociferous pretend-atheists, nattering on as though converting everyone in the world to atheism matters -- what? Is there someone who will remember and care past the end of the world?
We Christians frequently fail to live up to what we say is truth; the so-called atheists always fail to live down to what they say is truth. For which, let us thank God.
