I was amazed by how much of a rant this book was. The only book of I have read that has a similar style is Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler! I began to wonder if all atheists held such a viciferous view.
Sounds remarkably like someone who hasn't read either book. Certainly a most ridiculous comparison.
I have read both books. I was not refering to the content or subject matter of these books, but the tone and style. Both are shining examples of a hubristic rant!
Tone and style are very much relevant to what the subject matter is. Passion for what you devout your life to is expected. When that passion is reason and science I argue it is to be applauded. When that passion is genocide its deserving of a quick death.
