I'm not sure what you're trying to get at, and can't for the life of me understand what the point is supposed to be.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

I would chide you on that basis for having a love/hate relationship with God, but who does not?

True, but by the same token, in denying our nature we deny the divine.

You've made this analogy before and it's still a bad one, those aren't comparable

Actually, Buddhists are not explicitly atheist in the conventional sense of the world.

I guess it is that old impersonalism that seems the great disappointment in most Eastern religions.

I think he's saying that most arguments used on behalf of Atheism actually come from the Bible.

Basically what Dan said; atheism as iconoclasm sans icons (unless we count religion as symbolism.)

That Byzantiums iconoclasm was one of the many wedges between it and Rome that led to the Schism.

I did not say it was decisive, but that it did irreparable damage to the relationship.

Irreparable damage is damage that cannot be repaired, not necessarily serious or fatal.

Would you include the iconoclasm that Joel cites in the canonical Judeo-Christian tradition as well?
