I'm very glad to know that you are offended by Singer's endorsement of infanticide!

You made a list of four people you don't like, connected only by their atheism or agnosticism...

To the contrary, I don't dislike any of them - or Bill Clinton for that matter - or Osama bin Laden. I pray for all of them and love them. We Christians love everyone unconditionally, even those who think of themselves as our "enemy". (Matt 22, Matt 5)

I do however judge their ideology as a "second reality" which could have real consequences for all of us and our children if they were to gain political power. We Christians have both the right and the duty to judge such matters as opposed to judging the people themselves (I Cor 6:1-8, Matthew 7, etc.)

For instance, if society makes no distinction between man and beast then infanticide is "on the table". So we speak up against that "second reality".

Likewise, if public policy is that reality is materialistic happenstance then there is no absolute morality, and such issues as pedophilia must also be "on the table".

Likewise, if public policy is that the mind is an illusion which can cause nothing to happen then all legal consequences for personal conduct must be "on the table".

To the contrary, I don't dislike any of them - or Bill Clinton for that matter - or Osama bin Laden. I pray for all of them and love them.

I'm not impressed by sanctimonious protestations. I'm impressed by actions. Protesting you love Dawkins and Pinker while smearing them with the taint of infanticide is nothing less than sinister.
