I have to object; Richard Dawkins is *exactly* the archetype (in spirit if not in appearance) of the Reddit neckbeard arguing with people on the internet all day. Did Ghost Gum ever glance at his Twitter TL?

Dawkins is definitely not the worst atheist debater (Lawrence Krauss is more smug and more of a pseud) but there's no question that he's responsible for New Atheism. You can lay almost all the blame for reddit-tier fedora tippers on his public debates.

Reminder that libraries accepted for a while a YA graphic novel that proudly pushes genuine and actual pedophilia.

If you're gonna try to force an own on stories in the Old Testament, maybe read it too. Because while there's quite a bit of degeneracy in the Bible, I don't remember pedophilia beyond the fucked incest and the age gap with some of the patriarchs in Genesis with their wives.

There's only one argument I know of that sounds like what they're referencing. Some atheists will try and say Mary was underage when she had Jesus because the word for virgin and the word for young woman are technically the same in Hebrew (coincidentally it's also the same pilpul some early heretics made to argue against a virgin birth). But like most of these arguments it's a failure to understand euphemism more than anything meaningful.

I'm 90% sure they're conjuring this out of thin air and aren't familiar with esoteric bible translation arguments though.

Dawkins supporters are heretics. Hitchens followers are the true path of Atheism.

I think Krauss being a physicist contributes to his being even more insufferable than Dawkins. It's something about the discipline - many religious physicists are arrogant as hell too. I've heard firsthand that neuroscientists are the worst though, because their discipline is one big circlejerk about materialism/determinism.

Every atheist I know has been an absolutely miserable person to be around. They are everything they accuse religious people of being. Preachy, judgemental confrontational, and exclusionary. That's not to say I've not met religious people who were arseholes too. But I've met very welcoming and kind people of many different faiths who use their faith as a guide on how to live a moral and righteous life without feeling the need to preach or exclude others.. We need that in these clown world times.

I think you mean anti theist. The basic atheist/agnostic aren't preachy about their belief and they usually get hidden in the crowd. An anti theist will let you know he's atheist
 
Here's a 45 minutes strawman literally he's bitching about one guy and using it to paint a whole religion Hunter if you don't like being compared to a reddit atheist don't act like a reddit atheist

Gothix bad cause Christian

the official story is that Shoeonhead recommended him to vaush as a "conservative whos good at heart" and he reached out to him.
Also from what i remember his wife is left-leaning and was debating with him on things around that time.
 
I've always been quite confused by people who say they hate atheists but don't assert a different position. So you're against not believing in God but you don't believe in God? If you're against some particular sub-section of atheism you can just say that but that's rarely what we hear, they just say "atheism". I think they're just going by a ridiculous definition of atheist that requires being active in it, or they're one of these people who see themselves as exempt from classification (in a system where every position, including "non-positions", has a classifying name).
