Toaster strudel alliance takes on drugs, atheists and liberalism

[jstrodel]

Bloody hell. Hugo Chavez was an important world leader who recently died. That you think it symptomatic that we talk about a major news item that just happens to be about a Marxist leader, and that it implies anything beyond the fact that we care about world events is ridiculous. We don't generally mock people for no reason. We mock you because you have all the reasoning ability of a kumquat that's been sitting in the sun too long.

Chavez is not a Marxist, by the way.

Why are you so firmly opposed to actually engaging with my arguments? I did not say that the evidence of the Chavez thread meant evidence for a left wing thread atheist constituency, I said the Chavez thread was.

Read the thread. Compare the number of Chavez supporters on atheist websites to Chavez supporters in the general public. Then look at the number of other threads that quietly are sympathetic to Chavez without actually endorsing him. Look at Avatars of figures like Bertrand Russell, quotes by people like Christopher Hitchens.

Atheism IS a left wing movement. Go back to the French revolution, when the terms left and right originate. What role does atheism have in that?

Why are you so much more concerned with promoting your ideology than facts?

I am not bigoted. I have had many friends in my life who were blacks, homosexuals, women, etc. I am many things but I am not bigoted. Don't call me bigoted.
