"The New Atheists are back — and dumber than ever"
RE: "The New Atheists are back — and dumber than ever"
That's right.

Personally, I try not to generalise anyone. I am careful to say "some theists" or "a lot of theists", which is simply a summary of my own observations. I would never say "all theists" do anything more than believe in God. If I ever seem like I'm making such broad generalisations, I don't mean to and I apologize. I try to assume nothing about a particular theist, which is why I'm always asking specific questions such as what "God" means to them. The fact that I rarely get answers to such questions makes conversation difficult. I'm sometimes even encouraged, by the theist, to just stereotype what they mean by God.

Delicate, however, has done little besides trying to generalise atheists. It's a misguided mission from the start, and what it's supposed to achieve, I have no idea. It is certainly not a way of satisfying curiosity, especially as he disregards all our attempts to put him straight on what we actually believe, or don't believe. If the message is to stop dogmatically following prominent atheists, then it's a message we don't need. None of us do that as far as I'm aware.
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.
