People stop bitching - If you don't like the idea of atheists having leaders you should go tell that to those who organize themselves and appoint them. Any group can organize itself with common interest and pick leaders and rules, it's actually a normal social feature. Atheists are no exception. Are you sad about this? Ok, then stop taking the four horsemen's stand as if it was special or even intellectually consistent.

You're a fucking moron. I pegged you right the first time around. Tell what to Dawkins? He's first a scientist, second an educator and only then an atheist. You people who have something against the "New Atheists" forget to actually listen to them and fall into the propaganda of imbeciles from the atheist movements who want to make as much money as these ones. You're fucking disgusting and I think you probably deserve it. Go lead a bullshit life having pretentious and wrong ideas about the majority of things like that.

WHat's your problem with Dawkins and Harris anyway?

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL - Dawkins is known most of all by being an atheist and writing books like The God Delusion, and only then as a scientist. He has a book called The God Delusion, he gets lectures to criticize religion, he has tweets criticizng religion. he is invited for debates to criticize religion - It seems obvious what makes him famous, am I right.

My problem - They promote groupthinking as much as any other person or group and some atheists seem them as being always right and that's a very dangerous idea. I listened to them, I have read The God Delusion - I don't get the big deal about it, I was expecting something more rational and intellectually sophisticated. It's terrible to think A+ is a bad group and suddenly Richard Dawkins' following cult is ok because Dawkins is different. I have no issue with any of them as people, and some points are good, but for the most part I was expecting more. Someone like Freud who actually studied religion and knew how to criticize it made more contributions against religion on a paper than Dawkins in a lifetime

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
