01/05/03 A Fanatic is a fanatic is a fanatic I've said before that atheist can be just as fanatical, close-minded, and utterly annoying as religious zealots. You don't believe in God (or a God, afterlife, or anything). OK. I get it. No need to repeat it every time you turn around. I don't care. Really. They say people are only fanatical if they are unsure. No one goes around proclaiming that Jenna Jameson is going to take her clothes off. Which makes me wonder if these people, the fanatically atheist and fanatically religious, doubt the very beliefs they spout incessantly.
Christians (or, as so cleverly spelled by this individual) may very well be illogical, but to state that God does not exist because we cannot prove it is also illogical (the converse is also true, obviously). It is an argumentum ad ignorantiam, or argument from ignorance. If it cannot be proven that something does or does not exist (ghosts, aliens, God, One-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eaters), then you cannot logically argue either way, hence the term faith.
