A truly atheistic worldview would be based on meaningless chaos, not on the order of natural laws.

I doubt that. You know, Atheists have morals, they just differ from yours in both content and reasoning behind why they are followed.
If you want to stereotype, fundies claim scientists are all Atheists, and they do care about the order of natural laws.
No, that is incorrect. Worldviews vary from individual to individual, depending upon many factors, such as parental influences, education, employment, status and many, many others.
The only difference between you and an atheist is the atheist believes in one less god than you do.
No, a truly atheistic world-view can be any world-view which doesn't include belief in a god.
Why do so many Xians think that atheists lead meaningless lives? As an atheist, I believe that one's life has as much "meaning" as one gives it. I don't need an imaginary friend to bestow meaning on my life.
Pardon me but how many atheists do you know? I don't mean having casual acquaintances, I mean atheists whom you really know as individuals? Perhaps if you actually got to know a few you would think differently about them.
Yeah, like that will ever happen.
Don't the natural laws include a bit of chaos?
Fundies must lead incredibly empty lives, if the only thing that makes them meaningful is their belief in God...
Need his definition of natural law. Often they mean God's laws not the scientific definitions of absolutes or proven norms specific only to defined perimeters.
After all Seals aren't only not naturally like Polar Bears they're naturally inclined to avoid Polar Bears.
The perimeters of Atheism is defined by a belief there are no Gods, after that the moral absolutes are varied, a mad scientist , say Lex Luthor, is very likely an Atheist, but even his chaos would have a purpose, mostly an obsessive unreasonable hatred of Superman that makes him reckless, but otherwise a cunning plan and means to an end.
Hey, DC, How about a series where Lex takes up the Creationist Debate circuit? I'd buy that.
Another asshole theist telling the world all about what they think atheism is.
Atheism ISN'T a worldview. It's not a religion or a belief system, either.
"A truly theistic worldview would be based on immeasurable stupidity, not on science, logic, or reason."
Fixed.
Later in the thread:
The sourcework of that article was light-years better than that the Internet-garbage you link here to.
Light-years
Stop right there, you dumb-ass.
If you're not an atheist, how the fuck would you know, anyways?
And what does what any person (or group of people, for that matter) believe have to do with reality? What did Galileo say? "Nature does not accommodate itself to the comprehension of man."
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
