If you want to try and play nice with people who think like that, then I will not stand idly by and watch you hand my future over to these theocratic fatalists. Go bugger yourself with that if you so enjoy it, but your time of speaking for sensible atheists who actually understand what's at stake ends now.It looks like we have a modern-day Moses on our hands.
Please do let us know when you come back down from on high with the tablets that instruct us - I mean all atheists - on what we should do next about our future amidst these mortal enemies of ours.
Ok, we can't get ideological without being too much like the religious people - I know that, but then how in hell else can we deal with the very real threat of people who will never, not through any manner of reason adopt a non-meddlesome, and anti-theocratical position on other people's lives? It's clear that Catholic Lady is popular here, and she does present herself as very nice on the surface, but it's not in any way apparent that she really cares about the justice (or lack of it) in her position. You don't need to care about that when you've made up your mind to leave that to your god, or more specifically the talking heads who pretend to speak for him. As people who aren't told what justice is and instead perceive it through our own eyes, not blocking off our empathy circuits in favor of dogma, who actually care what the difference is between dogma and justice, we need to do something about these pied pipers before they get the theocracy which they want, and I am no longer convinced that talking to them is the best course of action. So, what's your other idea besides that one?
Mr. Hanky loves you!
