atheism illogical :
As someone working in the Logos series, I’d like to offer a parallel: 4 things atheists probably shouldn’t say about non‑atheists.Unicorn fallacy
Comparing God to a “mythological unicorn” is a categorical mistake. Unicorns are a specific imaginary creature within a natural category (animals); God, classically, is not that kind of entity at all. Saying “no unicorns exist, therefore no gods exist” trades on an equivocation and dodges the harder ontological questions theists are actually raising.Pastagod fallacy
The flying spaghetti monster or “sky spaghetti” is a clever meme, but as an argument it usually becomes a straw man. It treats biblical or classical theism as if it were just another arbitrary cartoon deity thrown into the mix. That ignores the long philosophical development behind “God” as understood in Jewish‑Christian thought, and it doesn’t seriously engage claims about a necessary, grounding reality.Misreading “knowledge of good and evil”
A frequent move is to reduce “knowledge of good and evil” to “just morals or meta‑ethics” and insist it has nothing to do with logic. In the Logos series, knowledge of good and evil (KGE) is taken as the basis for logic, which then grounds ontology, which then grounds morality. Treating KGE as only a narrow moral category misses its structural role in how we reason about reality in the first place.Reading vs. studying (and semantic archaeology)
There is a difference between casually reading religious texts and actually studying them with intellectual honesty and semantic archaeology. I would challenge atheists who comment on the evolution of meme organism, or biblical usage of "Elohim " to engage the best work in historical, linguistic, and philosophical scholarship instead of dismissing it from a distance. That includes taking seriously ideas like the “evolution” of the Jesus style meme God organism and how such an organism, like meme could be tracking, rather than merely mimicking, a deeper reality.My hope is not to shut conversation down, but to invite better ones—where both atheists and non‑atheists stop using easy straw men and start dealing with each other’s strongest, most precise claims.
