My Thoughts On Militant Atheism

[pocaracas]

I shouldn't write long posts after a particular hour of the night...
So many mistakes... not necessarily spelling or typos.

Not every mind is ready to be unplugged.
And many will die not ready.

We are here to provide examples of unplugged minds that manage to get along just fine.
We are here to show that it can be done, that the newly unplugged are not alone, to show them how to unplug themselves... they must choose the red pill by themselves.... or be born unplugged from the start.
But those who are plugged in wish their children to be plugged in as well..

Ok, enough metaphors...
Outspoken atheists are required to let everyone know that atheism is a viable option. There's no need to hide, or fake belief.
The internet has put them at the reach of anyone with access.
People need to know that it will be ok.
People need to know that they are not alone in their disbelief.

As long as there are countries where free speech is heralded as a virtue, such atheists will continue to speak their minds and all new generations will grow fully aware that they can lack belief and live free from the shackles of religion.
Each of these outspoken atheists uses the medium with which they are more comfortable... mockery, humor, wit, reasoning, by writing, on stage, on tv, etc...
Some religious people will feel threatened by some of these media, some will feel insulted, some will understand the reasoning, some will see the validity of mockery.
You can't put the message out and please everyone. Regardless of how the message is conveyed, there will always be some that have trouble with it.... and there will always be some that find some use in it.
The message is meant for the latter.
The former will kick back... they will become desperate as their numbers decline... they will call louder, make even more claims regarding their interpretation of the old writings, in the hopes of gathering more people around them... there will always be gullible people, there will always be superstitious people, there will always be ignorant people...
At best, we can look forward to making atheism the norm, unlike what it is nowadays. This is not a goal... just a hope.

Hopefully, this little correction will make this post a bit more understandable.
