You know of Answers in Genesis site, well, here's what they had to say about us "secular humanists"!

Beside that baloney about "god being removed from the culture" nonesense, maybe he should take a history lesson and see what things were like when America was a lot more xianized than it was today...think he'd be comfortable around the time of the Salem Witch trials, maybe?Skeptic Friends

While we're at it, I'd like people to stop demonizing Satan.

My personal favorite was the one where AIG refers to people who accept the findings of modern science as pagan sun-worshippers. Id bother to find a link but I have seeds to sort. Wasnt it brought up here before?

POWELL:
If your opponents don't admit to being persuaded by your best evidence then you need to explain why not. Either your evidence isn't that good or something is wrong with them and serious debaters from both sides of an issue typically think their evidence is good enough.
Many theists conclude that the atheists actually have been persuaded, but won't admit it because they're rebellious. On the other hand, the theists who conclude that atheists are sincere in their disbelief may think it's because Satan has blinded them or God has left them or they had some bad luck or something like that.
Atheists are more often willing to accept that the theists are sincere in their belief. They often try to show that believers are subject to wishful thinking, too gullible, failing to properly apply the extraordinary claims criterion to religious claims or they are too unscientific or something like that.
I'm especially interested in refuting theists who conclude that no one has rejected the belief in God, that there are no real atheists except those who very quickly commit suicide. That's what I thought when I was a theist.
