We must never allow our confidence to become arrogance. We cannot afford to become like the church-loonies who, in the past, scoffed that the earth was round. We must always be willing a test out new hypothesis without mocking them. (Unless, of course, it's something as ridiculous as "pink unicorns carry the earth.")
We we we blah blah blah. Why are you talking like all of us atheists are in the same fucking club. We don't have anything in common other than our lack of belief in god, don't pretend it is anything more than that.
One atheist's view on slavery may be different to another atheist. One atheist's view on politics may be different to another atheist. One atheist's view on secularism may be different to another atheist. Don't assume that every atheist acts and thinks the same. Not everyone is a prick you do know that?
