My Thoughts On Militant Atheism

[The Valkyrie]

What right do they have to demand that others adhere to a universally recognized standard of critical thinking based on successful results? I mean SERIOUSLY.

You should not speak of that which you do not know of yourself.

The maturity of this forum is exactly what I had anticipated it to be, a lack of intellectual thought resides here. A lack of critical thinking, such was it in the case where JesusHChrist presented me with misinformation and I had to correct him.

He didn't even bother to make sure his sources were correct, like many of you, and that is why you are what you are. It seems my time here has been wasted, and I have precious little time to be wasted by speaking to the deaf. I hope some of you will eventually understand the futility of militant atheism and stop wasting your time as well when it could be used for better purposes.

I never said not to question religion, as all things should be questioned. I just believe that it should be done in a mature and respectful manner.

Sometimes militancy is the only thing some religious people - fundamentalists, for instance - understand.

If someone makes religious claims that are wrong, but will not even listen to counter arguments - something I've encountered a lot among the religious -, or uses their religion as an excuse to lie, harm others, etc, I will get militant in my response.

What is wrong with countering militant religion with militancy (and, again, it depends on what you define as "militant")?

With some people and groups, if you turn the other cheek they'll take the opportunity to slap that one, too.
