Cool
I'm still waiting to hear what else the article is meant to say, besides this. No atheists are obliged to agree with everything Dawkins or any other atheist says. I'm sure everyone has said some stupid things at one time or another, whether or not the article is correctly criticising any particular argument here.
Even if it could be shown that everything Dawkins and other "new atheists" say is wrong, again, so what? They don't speak for other atheists. I've never heard them claim that they do, either.
You can't make blanket statements about atheists. Not if you want to be taken seriously, anyway. If you're not making blanket statements, then you're just highlighting some problems that some atheists have, or mistakes they make. So what? I would never claim all atheists are correct or moral all the time. Far from it. And I'm not responsible for anything they do or say, unless I explicitly give my support to it.
If Dawkins or whoever says something I think is stupid, I'll call it stupid.
Am I supposed to be policing these new atheists or something?
