Wow! Just like a real religion! Even the non-believers can't get their act together.

[GAB-1955]

I find the New Atheists are as dogmatic and intolerant as any fundamentalist. We do not want to be tolerated as believers. We demand acceptance and inclusion in the public life, including protection from other religions and the government. Got that, bright guy?

Now THAT is a job. Follow the money...

[Cicero]

The celebration of a "New Humanism" will emphasize inclusion and diversity within the movement, and will include Pulitzer Prize-winning scientist E.O. Wilson, a humanist who has made well-chronicled efforts to team with evangelical Christians to fight global warming.

Translation: "If we're more polite, maybe we can pull the wool over their eyes and turn these superstitious idiots into useful idiots."

I've always laughed at how militant many atheists are.. if there is no God, what's the point?

The only thing I object to if the term "New Atheist". New since what? The 18th century, at least?

How many winds of doctrine have we known in recent decades, how many ideological currents, how many ways of thinking. The small boat of the thought of many Christians has often been tossed about by these waves - flung from one extreme to another: from Marxism to liberalism, even to libertinism; from collectivism to radical individualism; from atheism to a vague religious mysticism; from agnosticism to syncretism and so forth. Every day new sects spring up, and what St Paul says about human deception and the trickery that strives to entice people into error (cf. Eph 4: 14) comes true.

An Atheist Split? Does that come with nuts, and a cherry on top?

By the way, I happen to be an atheist, and I would fully expect any group of people bound together by common belief to eventually develop schisms, and to attract a fair share of psychopaths, idiots of both the useful and useless variety, and assorted nuts.

So much for "for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with DARKNESS?..." Sigh

[Panzerfaust]

Ok, a question for the experts out there:

I don't believe in a god, but cannot rule out the fact that a god may exist. In other words, my lack of belief is not proof of the non-existence of a god.

Furthermore, I do not find the concepts of Christianity (as emulated by Jesus, not the subsequent church) objectionable (like the guy who wears the T-shirt that says "Atheists for Jesus".

Who could object to Jesus, a man who taught total love and brotherhood and who laid down his life for those beliefs? Whether or not he was the son of God, the guy had balls.

I'm a little foggy on the difference between agnostic and atheist. Can someone tell me where I fall?

[highlander_UW]

Epstein calls them "atheist fundamentalists." He sees them as rigid in their dogma, and as intolerant as some of the faith leaders with whom atheists share the most obvious differences.

Atheists get angry when one points out that they hold to a non-diety religion. But their's is a belief based upon at least as much faith as any "normal" religion.

[randog]

A man who ceases to believe in God does not believe in nothing; he believes in anything.

Militant atheism is itself a religion, with No-God as God.
