"The New Atheists are back — and dumber than ever"
RE: "The New Atheists are back — and dumber than ever"
Delicate quite clearly applies his own definitions of words to our posts, despite us being clear that we use definitions different to his.

What Delicate actually seems to mean by "atheist" is "someone who dogmatically agrees with prominent atheists". Sadly for him, that describes no one here that I'm aware of. So he's argueing against an empty set as far as this audience is concerned.

If there actually were such people, who did dogmatically follow Dawkins et al, then I'd join him in calling them stupid, just for being in that category in the first place.

Will he ever realize that we do not do this?

If he ventured into the rest of the forum, he would find that atheists disagree quite drastically on any number of subjects. But of course they agree on lacking a belief in God, by definition. Otherwise they wouldn't be atheists...

Lacking belief. Not also having a belief to the contrary, at least not by default. This is a subtle distinction, and I'm not convinced delicate has understood it yet.

I lack the belief that this reality is a computer simulation. I also lack the belief that it is not a computer simulation. I simply don't know what it is and have no belief either way. This is the default position.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
