You know how self congratulatory is it to give yourself an A+? Fucking hell I thought "Brights" was smug. Oh I'm going to enjoy this absurd spectacle immensely.

Re: The Civil War Within Skepticism
What the fuck!?!
Is this an attempt to sideline religious/spiritual types from the social justice movements, especially women’s rights and the fight against racism, homophobia and trans-phobia?

What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

And you don't get to be part of the atheist movement. You're an eeeeeevil libertarian!!!laklak wrote:Teh dramaz is fucking sublime.
Good Atheists have no need of people who, in large part, tend to think that the world would be a better place if more people minded their own business to help protect us all from those who would tell us what we should believe.

Re: The Civil War Within Skepticism
This x1000...but I can't give up on just calling myself an atheist just yet, it's what I amAudley Strange wrote:Jesus cum-gurgling Christ, the sanctimony offends me more than the fucking stupidity. From this day forth I'm calling myself a non-deist if anyone asks. Seth was right. Atheism (in this sense) is a post-modern religion. Those idiots are going to be a public embarrassment.
I'm glad I'm not an Atheist in America, poor bastards are going to get identified along with them. "Oh so you're an atheist huh, you must be one of them crazy whinin radical gender queers?"
It would be tragic if it wasn't so fucking funny.

I'm opting out of being called a human too. Don't want to associate myself with that Hitler guy everyone keeps talking about.
