Gee,this is a first for me,I hardly know to say.
Ah,yes I do: I really don't care about what to me are rather extreme views., AS LONG AS the person is not engaging in such wankery 'as an atheist'
There is no such thing as an atheist position on anything other than the existence of god.
I am not anti religion per se. "As a skeptic and secularist" I find that kind of intolerant and aggressive behaviour from a person who is also an atheist, every bit as obnoxious the same kind of behaviour coming from a person who is also a believer
Quote:If atheism is not a religion then why would you care what anyone else believes? Why "take the message" (gospel) to anyone? Why call people who disagree with you "enemies"?
This guy's position has nothing to do with atheism and every thing to do with his own world view and prejudices,of which atheism has neither,being ONLY about a disbelief in gods,period.

Umm I think what you say is true enough,but as an argument,it's tu quoque.--I can't use your crimes/prejudices to excuse or justify mine.
Quote:People who disagree with me disagree with me, people who disagree with reality are delusional, and in light of that history I mentioned above, dangerous.
Sorry to be a noodge, but exactly who gets to define 'reality"? You? Me?
