I'm surprised that all of the usual sort haven't welcomed you yet. You say that you want to bring atheism to the masses. Do you think social comparison theory would use your proselytizing would polarize a stronger opposition than just informing ignorant people where their ignorant?
I hope i didn't scare them
No, I think ignorance should be quashed wherever it raises it's ugly head. I just feel that the intellectual arguments have been made but the uneducated are put off by discussions on Aquinas or Socrates et al. I like to keep my rhetoric simple so as not to alienate the uneducated. They are the biggest threat to reason because of their apathy.
It is 3am here so forgive me if my lack of eloquence in my reply.
