Quote:Which is ironic because they sometimes also critique, as this one does, "new atheism" as being too strident.
Where have I criticised anyone for "being too strident"? I don't care if they are "strident" or not - they can knock themselves out. My issue starts and ends with them mangling history, especially when simultaneously preaching at other about checking their facts, doing their homework, avoiding fringe theories and paying attention to experts. I'm not a fan of bad history or of hypocrisy.
I'm also not a fan of patent stupidity, so the twerps who claim I'm not "really" an atheist because I burst some of their silly little bubbles also get pretty short shrift from me. Unfortunately some people are just plain dumb and atheism has attracted its share of the latter.
