Thing is, they're not doing what they think they're doing. They have been persuaded that they are, but clearly they are not. What they're actually doing, on the whole, is the same as everyone else. But sadly, some of the warped and bigoted views which are still fashionable creep in. Whether they are previously held or taught is difficult to say.
Those that really are doing what they think they are doing are the truly dangerous ones. I hope we don't have any like that on this forum. I doubt it, although a few people have me concerned.
.... We have one that "joked" about bring a gun to a af.org get together. He knows full well what Deuteronomy commands to be done to atheists.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
