We got moonbats on the religious side too.

But don't the look at isolated followers of anything: but see what the ideal of the 'ism' is about.

Therefore, believing upon The Son Of Man is indisputably the only the only intelligent choice.

And DEFINITIELY the right way to bet! ;^)

'Education does not equal knowledge'

Wisdom; I'd say...

When I read the words "arrogant atheism," I automatically think of former Freeper MineralMan.


He was (by contrast to that stereotype) the most reasonable, informed, courteous atheist I have ever met. He knew more about my Church, and was more fair about my Church, than many self-identified Christians who mock it..

Big loss. Huge.

There's definitely a certain amount of kettle/black on that score. See also: Theodore Adorno - "The Authoritarian Personality".

Some adherents to this notion will assert that Stalin was actually "right wing" or conservative, thus in their mind at least, neatly preventing any cognitive dissonance on their part. For my part, I think they are ignorant bordering on belligerent. It does explain the outright man-hating feminism, attacks on institutions like the Boy Scouts, organized religion, marriage, the family, and so on.
Respect for family, law and order, police, etc etc., is just latent fascism, you see.

Just wait; the Evo's are like buzzards in that they can smell a trace of religion in a thread a mile away!

More like sharks with blood, then they go on a feeding frenzy. Just to make sure, label it a prayer request.

Problem is, getting to the ideal of atheism is like trying to round up a herd of ferrets. There aren't any general tenants, no dogma, no real organization. The fact that many non-religious are liberals is a fluke I think, bred more out of the desire to be fashionable rather than reason, disappointing as that is.

There are several atheists like that I agree, but you wont find them in certain cliques.
