I'm really having trouble not snickering as I write this. I literally cannot empathise with "Homosexuality is wrong".

If Arandur is correct, that makes you no different from the theist who literally can't imagine God not existing, or even anyone truly believing that God doesn't exist, and thus concludes that "atheists" are merely angry at God.

Not quite, since "empathize" is different from "imagine." Perhaps he even thought of this when making that word choice.
