What is it with atheist bashers and bad spelling?
How come every time someone takes a swipe at atheists their bad spelling and grammar is atrocious? I mean their facts are usually way off but if you add spelling on top of that they cripple their own argument. Does God not believe in grammar or something?
Anthony C, I'm saying nothing about believers in general just the few who rant at atheists and undermine their own point.

It's the same as the correlation between education and religion, the more educated you are the less likely you are to go to church. So the answer is simple, the answers you refer to are the incoherent ravings of those unable to express themselves clearly.

The problem with bad English and spelling etc is now endemic with the population as a whole, not just the ranters and ravers. They have all come through an education system that believed in EXPRESSION and hang the grammar etc. The sooner this system is changed the better. The other part of the problem is that the teachers have also come through the same system and they are as bad as the rest of poor spellers etc.

OK
perhaps you meant:
Why is it that when one attempts to thwart atheists' views, their point is often overlooked due to their poor use of grammar and misspellings? If you take into consideration that their facts are usually false, in addition to misspellings and poor grammar, then their arguments are usually crippled. Does God not abide by the rules of proper grammar?
I don't agree with you, but at least now it sounds like you have a better command of grammar and English language yourself to make your point....

1. It should read "atheist-bashers".
2. "How come" is poor use of the English language (you should say "why").
3. It should say that "spelling and grammar are atrocious".
4. "I mean" should be followed by a comma (but preferably not exist at all).
5. "way off" should be followed by a comma.
Sorry, what was it you were saying again?

Can I suggest that we end this now?
Several people who have tried to correct what they perceive to be your poor spelling and grammar, have also made mistakes.
Let me make it clear that I am not a believer either, but we aren't exactly covering ourselves in glory here. You doubtless know the old saying that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones?

God believes in nothing but himself, according to them.
God is just a pompous, self-worshipping jackass, and the people who follow that deity are exactly the same (though adding superstitious and naive to the mix)
Therefore, those theistic people (as Christians, Jews and Muslims) have the nerve to tell you to "BELEEVE IN GOD" or you'll go to HEEL.
But, nowadays, it's not uncommon to see even "normal" people using atrocious grammar (like substituting You Are for and U and an R)
Theistic religions disgust me.

Theez thot beleef in Gud hev theeir oowen linguodge doo notts theese. I think what you are discovering is that the more fervently indoctrinated the answer the more erratic the angry typing, therefore the more typographical errors. These people that wish to shout you down with religious fervour are so quick to get their answer published they cannot abide the Godless task of having it marked wrong.

As pointed out by Richard Dawkins in his book 'the god delusion' there is a reverse correlation between strength of belief in god and intelligence. The greater the belief the lesser the intelligence.
