re: #208 Gus 802

Who cares. I’m tired of people belly aching about “religious atheists.” That’s bullshit for one. Atheism is not a religion and anyone that believes it as such is dead wrong. It’s about time people like Hitchens, Dawkins, Dennett and others started speaking up. Religions have had their hands in things for far too long and the tide is finally turning. And that tide is turning due in large part because of these well known atheists. We will not shut up and we will not be cowered into submission because of people’s sensitive feelings about their superstitious beliefs.

well, Hitchens and Dawkins, in their supreme arrogance, aren’t exactly helping. Dennett I don’t know off of the top of my head. I’m not even getting into ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ but there’s a sizeable contingent that seems to basically seek to offend. hell, I’m sometimes as annoyed at those folks as at some of those religious nutcases they rail against.
broad brush, and such. you’re perfectly free to use it, but don’t be surprised if it gets you a little resentment.
