Amazing Atheist Thread

Yes, he is an obnoxious fuck, but he is our obnoxious fuck.

Ledo, I agree with that...lol

Thankfully he's not mine!

"Our"? I don't think so.

Although I use the word 'our' to refer to a bunch of things,that drongo isn't one of them.

I can only hope he resumes or increases the dosage of his medication very soon.

LOLOL...

Guys, he may be a nuts on camera, but you know as well as I do that it's all for show and to get a rise out of people.

Funny thing is, that he lives in Louisiana just as I do... I believe I'm about 3 and a half hours away from him.

To be an Atheist in this state, you have to be a little crazy...LOLOL...(Keeps the Christians from trying to knock on your door...)

How do I know that? Frankly he seemed like a total jerk to me and certainly not someone I want to see representing my views (which is fortunate because I didn't think he was).

Because his videos in comparison with his broadcasts are a bit different...He does know how to calm down and actually talk civil....

Me personally, I think he's just board out of his mind...lolol

As far as Representation, I don't accept anyone for that position....I represent myself and am responsible for my own actions...I don't choose or look at anyone as being a model for my understandings....

Well I never got far enough past him being a jerk to find that out ...

... but that's the key point, you like him, LEDO does and that is every bit your right ... I don't, Padraic apparently doesn't and that is ours ... it's a personal evaluation and none of us are right or wrong.

Good philosophy and I agree ... unfortunately people that get up and speak about those things we are passionate about kinda do represent us in the same way as Dawkins, Dennet, Harris & Hitchens represent us at a higher level whether we like it or not (others perceive that they do).

I like anyone who breaks with the status quo and causes people to think outside the box.

There's been a few times it was the same for me on some of his vids...

I understand that, I was not exactly debating that point with my "Board comment"......

I agree with this as well to some extent, and I do understand your point, but just know that even with all of them that you listed, we still have a to-and-fro scenario at times.

Hitchens is my favorite to watch/listen as a debtor, but I believe him to be a pampas ass and would more than likely be on a defense mode if I were to ever be around him for a long period of time...lol

Harris seems like a down to earth guy, but I personally think he just needs to come out of the closet and tell everyone he leans more towards a Neo-Pagan type backing with a bit of Atheism to the organized. Or better yet, a mystic in some aspect.... I could have swore I've heard in mention that term before in the past (Mystics)

Dawkins....my favorite by far...I guess, if I were to critique him in any way, it would be during some of his debates with Christians in which there is so much more he could have either returned with on them, or threw in their self-righteous face from their own book, but his expertize is not in that field, and I do not fault him for not knowing every other verse in the Bible to retaliate with. (Neither do, but I do believe I know more on the scriptural side than him) But if that's the only constructive criticism I have about Dawkins, then there is nothing for me to complain about and he's doing a fine job at his current setting....

Dawkins A+ in my book by far.....
