Christians trying to figure out atheism
There you go. They figured out our weekly orgies sessions. And also college students didn't have sex before the dreaded New Atheism began.
But like I said before, uninformed theists (like the author of the article above) project into atheism what they themselves want to do but feel unable. Thus horny theists think that atheism is all about sex, angry theists think it's about murdering and "getting away with it", poor theists think atheism is about stealing stuff, etc.
Quote:What these more earnest New Atheists didn’t understand is that New Atheism means sex, not atheism. The well-trod arguments against God’s existence were not the animating force of the movement; they couldn’t be, because the leaders of the movement barely understood and didn’t bother to articulate those arguments. The movement was about liberating oneself from the burden of moral responsibility. It was about giving permission to college students to sleep around as much as they wanted, without a guilty conscience, because God was an invented trick by parents, like Santa Claus, to keep us from being naughty.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
