My lo...I'd laugh if this all were not so scary. My local atheist group was usurped by accommodationists who, from one day to another, decided that all the strident, honest discussion was "hurting their cause." None of it was directed at anyone outside the group, mind you, it just made them generally uncomfortable and a small subset of us got outed for it. <br />Atheist Accommodationists: Can't live with them, can't send them to hell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-19030459711659937742010-10-13T09:35:07.205-04:002010-10-13T09:35:07.205-04:00If only there was such a place for people to go an...If only there was such a place for people to go and privately share their points of view no matter how misguided, and not force them onto everyone else... if only.<br /><br />On a side note, have you heard about the 'be it resolved, religion is a force for good in the world.' munkdebate - can't say I have heard much of Hitchens(the atheist) before, or care much for the suggestive title.<br /><br />And afterall it is a munk debate- so expectations are stifled as i thought they stopped years ago.

I wonder whether he has heard some of the strident things that Christian apologists say about atheists.<br /><br />I can't comment on Dawkins, since I have not read much of his criticism of religion. I do often read PZ's blog, and he does not seem particularly strident to me. It seems to me that PZ is mostly ridiculing religion when it is being ridiculous. If religious groups don't like that, they should just stop being ridiculous, though I doubt that they will take my advice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-49055451382438227472010-10-12T12:09:40.476-04:002010-10-12T12:09:40.476-04:00That article is a perfect example of why I quit re...That article is a perfect example of why I quit reading that site. It is such a piece of condescending BS that words don't adequately convey how crappy it was.<br /><br />One question I would have is: Did Chris Mooney write it?Jolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13489222384096732121noreply@blogger.com
