If we were 'afraid of god' we would obviously be believing it exists
and therefore not atheist. 

Why don't you try thinking things through properly?

You would not embarrass your self with these kinds of gaffes then
before people you hate.

Good response. Yorkshire is very pretty country with nice people and some very pretty women. Just thought you'd like a note of appreciation.

Right, they're scared of something they don't believe exists!

That would be the god we don't believe in. 
Are you afraid that the leprechauns will get you if you kill people?

Being open-minded is merely the willingness to consider
evidence, not the willingness to accept claims without any.

More than 211,000 homicides committed since 1980 remain unsolved – a
body count greater than the population of Des Moines, Iowa.

What percentage of the total homicides is that?
Will they _all_ remain unsolved forever?
