Are you an Atheism+ refugee? Who judges worthiness? You? Some unknown committee? If you would like to address specific things some atheists have said, have at it. Denigrating a non-specified group of people by name dropping certain representatives simply because they are unlikely to hold hands with you and sing Kumbaya is not an argument. Straw man from hell.

Also, if you intentionally wrote this piece in an effort to convey the frustration you felt in church....job well done.

Hell no. My emphasis is on those atheists who use cognitive distortions and circular arguments in the face of contradicting evidence.

Fuck Atheism+, I hold no sentiments with them. Thank you for reading Smile

Yes, it is my claim that these individuals are no better than the religious who blindly follow "prophets" and damn freethinkers and homosexuals to hell. These sort of atheists give atheism a bad name, and it is my confession that I have at few times resembled such snobbish and mundane, militant atheism.

As atheists, I will arrogantly proclaim that we have a moral obligation to avoid such zealotry and stand as an intelligent and reasonable example to those we would have convinced to the concepts our argument.

That's an awful lot of ipse dixit for someone claiming it's a bad thing to blindly follow others.

Good catch, I have been rather subjective, but nevertheless willing to debate reason into my assertion.
