Not really, that’s just where the road they’ve chosen leads.
[atheists] refuse to admit that their own belief system is, by the actual dictionary definition, religious.
We have some of those people here on Free Republic.
Very open about their belief that religious people should be excluded from public office among other places.
“Leftists and idiots”: brought to you by the department of redundancy department.
Humanism is absolutely a religion.
Atheism is certainly not.
The new minority: white, Christian, heterosexual, male
Maybe it’s part of the war on masculinity.
To be fair to Descartes, the rest of his essay concluded with "therefore God exists". Descartes was disgusted by atheists, and a major purpose of his "Discourse on the Method" was to prove atheists wrong through logical reasoning.
We are at war. Losing means losing America and its freedoms and liberties, a terrible tragedy for our offspring.
Will we fight? When?
False analogy.
No Freedom from Football activist group. No ACLU lawsuits against sports bars.
Bad try.
Activist atheism certainly is: The etymology of the very word, religion, connotes reconnection - to a higher (or lower) purpose.
Militant atheists find their connection to purpose through attacking the unalienable right to practice by - especially - Christians.
Your assertions are sophistic.
A- means without. Atheism means without theism.
That shouldn’t be hard to figure out. Regardless,
I’m finished here.
Utter garbage.
It is.
It comes down to this always and fundamentally.
Anti-Christ vs God.
With abortion as the sacrament today.
It’s the same as Old Testament times. Nothing new under the sun.
“Atheism is certainly not.”
It’s a belief, ostensibly not a religion, but in contemporary times it has become a de facto religion.
“I’m finished here.”
Because you don’t have a leg to stand on and are in denial.
Scotus is the supreme branch. They not only do not fear for their lives, they needn’t concern themselves with impeachment.
<>Will we fight? When?<>
What do you have in mind?
As Thomas Paine pointed out in Common Sense, government is an evil which is only justified by skepticism towards society. It follows that extreme skepticism - cynicism - can be a rationalization of tyrannical government. “Liberalism” is cynicism directed at society and concomitant faith/naiveté directed at government.Journalism easily defaults to cynicism toward society because “If it bleeds, it leads” disposes journalism toward the negative. Not only so, but journalism - knowingly negative - claims to be objective. The implication of that is clear; “the conceit that negativity is objectivity” is an excellent definition of “cynicism.”
Since cynicism is an antonym for faith, it is inevitable that “liberals” would be hostile to Christianity.
