I have read countless links offered by several atheists here for many years and that does mean reading them with understanding.
I also can't help but notice you (predictably) dodged the (very accurate) accusation about you being a blatant hypocrite on this subject. Just like with science, your appreciation for art only extends to the point that it agrees with what you believe. I don't have to agree with an artist to think they made a work that's rich, powerful, profound, poignant, etc. The famous "moment/event" in Ordet still gives me chills even though I think that metaphysically it's completely absurd; but part of the power of art is to make us feel the power of absurd ideas merely because their appeal is inherent in the human condition, and art is able to represent that condition. However, people like you just see all opposing points of view as a threat, and therefore can't allow themselves to be moved by those who feel differently. Sad for you, I guess, but it certainly puts a damper on your claim to having any real understanding of art.
Really? You can't guess?
Pardon me if you find the repetition annoying, but "knock me over with a feather."
