"Fanatical atheist"?
First time I've come across that.
I am atheist which simply means I don't believe in God, I have no objection to you or anyone else believing in God, no harm in that, I do have many objections to all religions.
For example , you have an open mind as to how the world began, the theory of evolution is as stated, a 'theory' . But you have an open mind on the subject so you are not a fanatic in my eyes.
Now if you were to try to convince me that it all started with Adam and Eve, then in my mind you would be a nut, and a fanatic.
Now I 'butt in ' to this category because the religious fanatics keep butting in to every category on the forum.
Most atheists are also respectable middle class folk , the main difference between the religious middle class group is that the religious group all go to church to worship their God, they think their own brand of religion is the only 'true' religion, and are quite willing to go to war with each other and kill to prove it. Hypocrites!
In your case you are just saying you believe in God, fair enough , it's only when you start telling me he visited earth as his own Son etc that I would call you a fanatic.

For the same reason that some religous members would tell athiests that there is a god. Personally I have never met a fanatical athiest, but if I did I would assume he is worried about his own beliefs.
Unfortunately there are loads of fanatical religous groups that do get the headlines through there actions.

It seems any point of view can have its fanatics, there are quite a number of religious groups that fit that category as well as people. Also, if you had a view the world was flat probably someone does in fact possess a duty to correct your belief simply for your own good. I am not sure how beliefs about a god are any different.

a million) Being an atheist would not unavoidably mean which you're deeply "into technological know-how", or vice-versa 2) What you're describing is definitely pseudo-technological know-how, no longer technological know-how 3) whether this way of conversion medical care worked with statistical value (and it would not), that still would not be "medical information of God". If something, that is purely information of ways mailable the human recommendations could be. it quite is a hazard to brainwash a guy or woman into any form of unfounded ideology, inspite of whether there is any truthfully empirical information to its supernatural claims it might desire to have. For that count number, human beings have long undergone psychological reprogramming to alter behaviors like phobias too. i comprehend some Hindus from 12-step classes who end ingesting and used Shiva as their greater skill -- does that prepare the Bhagavad-Gita is real? this is a question: how most of the matters in contact have been quite purely bisexual to start with? replaced into this even examined for? How? EDIT: not at all recommendations, the article itself says "Drescher additionally stated that the learn doesn’t come across whether bisexuality performed a functionality in the reported sexual orientation transformations."

That's stretching it!
I don't think people who are religious are necessarily fanatic but it still surprises me when i hear people saying they are because with the knowledge we have AND the historical records of religious acts...one would think that it would make it clear the religion might not be the way.
I also think that believing in a god is pompous and self centred! we need to get over this....we are not special. we are not special to the point of having a deity looking after us (on very rare occasions) and being interested in what we do!

Because people who are atheist often not only think, erroneously, that they have watertight logical arguments on their side, they think that a belief in any kind of God is detrimental to individuals and society at large. Plus a lot of them just like to be right and force their views, and that's something anyone with a strict belief system is prone to, not just atheists. Agnosticism is the only logical viewpoint and it doesn't matter if people know that or not, because it changes very little. Except maybe one's propensity to leave religious wrangling to people who aren't philosophical enough to know which questions just cannot be answered.

Atheists are those who, due to some misunderstanding or mental fixation, become aimless and baseless in their life. They are the ones who think their less knowledge is more and enough for them. Their capacity and ability to grasp more knowledge and to understand something more than what they have already in their brain, gets saturated, rigid and stuck due to lack of flexibility in their vassal of knowledge that exists within themselves.
It results in a disease called "wisdom sickness", They are intelligent people but not so wise. Because our wisdom is the one that converts our aimlessness, baselessness or directionlessness into a directional element by giving our intelligence a certain frame of reference that enables ourselves to differentiate good and bad, or right and wrong.
The disease, wisdom sickness, creates a film of subjectivity in front of their vision/intellect like for a jaundiced eye every thing is yellow.
So as being human being, I feel pity on such humans who do not understand but implement their narrow vision on others as general, overall and as the last one.
So I don't mind for their scientific arguments but if they not stress on it, that their little understanding of known part of this universe, is the final and above all. In reality, the known part of this universe is just a miner fraction like a drop of water with reference to whole water of the ocean.

I would never tell anyone they are wrong for believing in god. The choice is theirs to make. I don't believe in a god, and I would never push my believe on anyone.
The only people I classify as fanatic's are the ones that pound the bible and tell me I am going to hell for not believing.

I do not say that you are wrong, i just want religious zealots and fanatics to be aware that there are other points of view, to be more tolerant, to understand other belief systems and to honour the messages that are in the various religious books and texts!

I believe, belief is not something to be put in the curio shelf, only to be brought out by those who will be absolutely respectful of it. Nope, it's a tool we show to our fellow cave men to demonstrate how it saved our life once or at least kept gangrene from setting in. This isn't a museum, this is life. Be proud of your beliefs but they really can defend themselves. If the belief really *does* something, it'll be obvious.
