Matthew 6:5

Right, the New Atheism of Christopher Hitchens

Hitchens died years ago. You need to find new enemies.

Right, the New Atheism of Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, et al. is pretty offensive and closed minded.

They are an offensive counterpoint to Falwell et al, though I consider Falwellians far more dangerous

They make for good cable television fodder, but they have almost no practical influnce in the Democratic Party.

Agreed. By their own admission, it's militant atheism. For comparison, I like, and respect very much, Neil deGrasse Tyson. The video below exemplifies their differences. Tyson is more of an educator whereas Dawkins is "you're either with us or against" take-no-prisoners and, as Tyson points out, less effective.

I really like Neil. Dawkins is just intentionally offensive.

I always respected the quasi-atheism, borderline-deism of Albert Einstein.

Choked his last breath out from cancer in 2011, largely, by his own admission, to smoking and drinking. Much the same way Rush Limbaugh is going out. The other three Horsemen are still alive. Militant Atheism still lives.

Dawkins is no Einstein. He's just a loudmouth cashing in on atheism much the same way Trump is cashing in on racism.

You will be banned from all my future threads.

Because you can’t debate

I have never banned anyone here or anywhere

You can’t handle a debate

Any viewpoints on the exchange above, Cypress?

I have always liked Evince. She is a lot smarter and insightful than most rightys give her credit for, but she can have an acerbic writing style when riled up......

 

[evince]

Yeap

I kick evils ass

 

[evince]

I have outed fake posters before


And I will do it again


Fuck you russians

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Imagine you are locked in a smallish room with AOC, Hillary Rotten Clinton, "Sleepy" Joe Biden, Adam "Shifty" Schiff, Ilhan Omar, Monica Lewinski and Nancy Pelosi, and you can't get out- EVER

and only Nancy gets ice cream.....

I have never known Evince to intentionally lie about anything in 16 years of posting together. n

does she have sufficient mental capacity to frame an intent?.......

 

[Dutch Uncle]

The jury is still out on evince.

She was right about the Iraq War.

You were wrong

That was the most important decision and test of judgement this generation ever faced.

In my experience, anyone who has actually reads Solzhenitsyn is far from a dunce.

Evince is more insightful than the overwhelming majority of Deplorables whom ever posted here. On the flipside, she curses way too much for my taste.
