All sounds more political than religious. I'm no advocate for atheism and I realize you're just responding to the trolls' provocations. I'd counsel caution in applying religious criteria to atheism, Occam. There's a danger that by saying that atheism is "just another belief system" you end up devaluing religious faith. The difference for me is that while "religion" as a word is communitarian (the -lig- morpheme is the same as what you get in "ligament" so it goes to what binds you to other believers who share your faith) atheism is individual. The fact that some declared atheists seek to organise as some sort of atheist brotherhood is a matter for them. What's their motto? "We've got plenty of nothing"? Whatever. As for KTJ, he still wastes everyone's time pretending to have it both ways. Does he look like an atheist? Quack! Does he waddle like an atheist? Quack quack! Does he quack like an atheist? Quack quack quack! Moving on ...  |
