Atheism Ireland denounces hateful bigot PZ Myers

RE: Atheism Ireland denounces hateful bigot PZ Myers
And I value some arguments made against religion - The main figures in the atheist movement can be good debate professors and to understand the problems with religion, but they all had flaws - Hitchens was slightly pro-life and pretty much said men are biologically superior to women in comedy; Dawkins made some weird twitter rants about how mild rape/paedophilia is better than serious rape/paedophilia and how it is immoral to have Down Syndrome kids etc and Harris argued racial profiling of Muslims and said torturing them is inevitable etc - I like to see them as good against religion but they're not particularly good in anything else (other than science and their respective specialities/PhD's) - For this reason I think we should not worship them - From my experience when someone admires a figure we tend to agree with EVERYTHING they say and that's a dangerous route to take (it's simply our bias telling us that the person is perfect)
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
