evangelical atheist
See A sshole
An evangelical atheist is one who not only believes there is no god or other supreme being, but is obsessed with convincing everyone around them to become an atheist too, usually through hard-line intolerance (the kind they accuse other religions of). When cornered they usually try to put down their opponent's religion and bash them for 'blind faith', not realizing that their belief that there is no god is no more or less valid or provable than the other guy's belief that there is one.
Not to be confused with normal atheists/agnostics, who for the most part just dont talk about religion and accept the beliefs of those around them as their perogative. Evangelical atheists are particularly common on the Internet, as organized religion is generally accepted as part of 'the system' of global human society, and lately it's become cool on the Internet to hate 'the system'. Mostly teen angst if you ask me...
Evangelical atheist: "Hi, I'm an atheist."
Other guy: "Cool, I'm Jewish."
Atheist: "YOU FOOL! YOU PRACTICE RELIGION LOL, YOURE A DUMBASS AND IM COOL BECAUSE IM AN ATHEIST. I SHALL NOW PROCEED TO EXPLAIN WHY BLIND FAITH IS DUMB, UNLESS ITS BLIND FAITH IN ATHEISM WHICH IS A COINCIDENTAL EXCEPTION"
Other guy: "Shut it biatch you're a dumbass"
Atheist: "BUT IM AN ATHEIST, WHICH MEANS IM ALWAYS RIGHT. AND IM NOT AN INTOLERANT PRICK LIKE ALL MEMBERS OF RELIGION ARE, HURR HURR HURR."

Delusional Christian: If you don't believe that Jesus is your lord and savior you're doomed to an eternity in Hell!!!
Logical Person with a Brain: So you mean to tell me that this ghost in the sky used some woman named Mary as a cum dumpster, knocked her up with his ghost sperm, and produced a little jewish kid. This Jewish kid then grew up and tried to convince everyone he was their god, and that when he got his ass nailed to the cross for tagging the hell out of hookers, he tried to pawn it off that he was dying for everyone else's bad behavior.
Delusional Christian: Yes!!!!
Logical Person with a Brain: You're a moron
Delusional Christian: Yes!!!!

[quote]Do you have a NEW TESTAMENT quote that SPECIFICALLY defines homosexuals as "unclean" or not worthy of saving? [/quote]
Romans 1:26-27
New International Version (NIV)
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
New International Version (NIV)
9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Timothy 1:9
New International Version (NIV)
9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers,10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine
I do believe that we ALL fit the sinful acts listed in these verses. Being a Christian isn't about a 'free pass' because we are saved by Jesus' blood; however as a Christian, while we might engage in those guilty pleasures, we don't live a lifestyle of it. Homosexuality is a lifestyle of it and that is how I personally differentiate my own acts of sin from the sinful lifestyle. Right or wrong, that is how I see it and that's where I am in my spiritual walk. One of my most frequent prayers is for God to shed light on my wrong comprehension of His word so that I will see people, situations, problems, opportunities, etc the way He sees them.

[quote]No, pointing to OTHER sins or sinners is not the answer. I want to know where the BIBLE says you shouldn't ASSOCIATE with homosexuals (especially CHILDREN). I mean we can debate whether or not the bible is ACTUALLY against homosexuality (there are a NUMBER of translation questions/issues), but that is not the case here. No one is saying they have to ACCPET homosexuality, or PRACTICE it, just allow CHILDREN who are in a NONSEXUAL environment (the BOYSCOUTS) to continue to learn BOYSCOUT (NONSEXUAL) stuff. [/quote]
I believe the point is that a bible based Christian organization cannot continue to support an organization that supports a sinful act, because to do so would mean they are condoning the sinful behavior. Ultimately, the decision has nothing to do with the kids themselves, but with the BSA's National Council policy.

---> Ah yes...the old 'do as I say, not as I do'. BAER!
I want to know where the BIBLE says you shouldn't ASSOCIATE with homosexuals (especially CHILDREN). I mean we can debate whether or not the bible is ACTUALLY against homosexuality (there are a NUMBER of translation questions/issues), but that is not the case here.
---> Oh yes...the "CHILDREN". You're just like the government using 'best interest of the children' to keep children away from the non-custodial parent, or leaving the non-custodial parent to live in poverty with high child support awards.
---> First of all, I know of no requirement in the Bible that one has to associate with any kind of 'sinner'. I believe that people have the right to choose who they want to associate with based upon their personal beliefs, codes, morals, feelings, and yes...even religion.
---> Second, if it was the case earlier, why isn't it the case now? The Bible is quite clear that homosexuality is wrong and per your request/demand, Avaya posted New Testament scripture about it.
No one is saying they have to ACCPET homosexuality, or PRACTICE it, just allow CHILDREN who are in a NONSEXUAL environment (the BOYSCOUTS) to continue to learn BOYSCOUT (NONSEXUAL) stuff.
---> First of all, you have made it VERY CLEAR that people who do not accept homosexualty are 'haters', 'homophoboes', 'bigots', etc so trying to now claim that it's 'okay' is bullcatmonekyshit. Second, allowing homosexuals changes the dynamic of that environment the same as if you allowed girls.
