Atheist are inteligent ?

The main problem with atheists is that they insist on defining themselves in terms of archaic beliefs, as if, as I frequently say, I went around calling myself an anti-phlogistonist.

Well, that depends on how religion die, nu?
I mean, if we just convince people that a particular brand of theism is a load of shit, they'll happily search for the brand of shit that they find more credible.
If, however, we can educate them to think for themselves, and they begin to question all forms of bullshit, then they won't be replacing the defunct religion with another one.

Hardly. Complacency seems to be the main recruiting tool for terrorists, right now.

I doubt it.
You've worked diligently to learn nothing since you got here...

People used to believe fire was caused by a mythical element called phlogiston. It wasn't. Nobody needs to define themselves in terms of outmoded beliefs.

But theism isn't obsolete, yet.
Old-fashioned and antiquated, but still very popular and active.

So calling yourself an anti-phlogistonist doesn't really compare. As was just demonstrated, you need to explain phlogiston in order to identify your stance of rejection.

But people are all sorts of interested in which flavor of theism one answers to. So atheism is certainly moded.
 
Read the article and judge its intelligence and honesty. And try on some of the comments from theists below it. As dumb as ass.
 
Professional Atheist Dawkins Says Christianity ‘Bulwark Against Something Worse’
In fairness the Buybull does say that genocide is both right and wrong, so at least devotees are left wondering about many points therein.

So it's not a bulwark, just bulshit.
 
He doesn't admit he is a dumb ass, he just admits to holding a view that isn't any less dumb than what most people hold.

Christianity is not a bulwark against something worse. Secularism, even when far from perfect, is a bulwark against the influence of religion and theism which are inherently destructive in its net impact.
It is entirely the secular and militarily dominant context within which modern Christianity exists that reduce its long-standing association with everything "worse" that is still associated with Islam. If anything, Christianity is to Islam what moderate religion is to fundamentalism, an enabler and provider of pseudo-intellectual cover and a motive for the mainstream to discount the fact that the dangers of fundamentalism stem from the inherent properties of faith-based worldviews and the concept of God. Those who are part of or have strong social ties to "moderate" religion has an biased motive to be irrational when it comes to recognizing that theism and faith are inherently destructive and authoritarian and are not merely symptoms of but play a major causal role in spreading violence and intolerance, and resistance to moral, political, and intellectual progress. The secular context of modern Christianity makes most Christians "moderate" relative to the far more pervasive fundamentalism in Islam. Most that are "moderate" Islamists are quite extreme relative to the average "Christian". Because Christians try to pretend that they actually believe in the same basic notions of God and the value of faith, they cannot acknowledge the inherent dangers of these things and their causal role in the kinds of actions that they agree are heinous and must be stopped.
 
It's good to see Syed back again. The good old days of believers showing up here thinking they were Rocky Balboa, only to discover they were just the large slabs of meet in the industrial freezer have largely passed.

Granted, Syed doesn't pose much of a challenge. He shows up, ready to go, and then he comes-to in the locker room a few minutes later thinking he's won the fight. Then he leaves, trains a little more by doing exactly the same thing that got him worked over the last time, and comes back for more.

I would say that I wish more believers would show up here, but from the time I first showed up at Internet Infidels back in 2002, I've never seen one admit they were wrong about anything substantive. They get the bejesus knocked out of them, leave, and then come back to get pummeled again. Then they're usually gone forever.

But more importantly, none have ever provided an argument that has made me think for a second that maybe God does exist. Not one person, not one time, ever. And no matter how wrong their arguments are, they don't care. They just know they're right and the non-believers are wrong, no matter how tricky the non-believers seem. Randy Macho Man Savage, the greatest philosopher of the 20th century, once drew the analogy that when we put our hand into the fire [that is The Macho Man] and get burned, we learn not to do it again. But unfortunately intellectual things don't have that same physical effect, and so we get Mr. Syad.

If only the Macho Man were here now to dispense his wisdom to Syed, to tell him about, "The tower of power too sweet to be sour--too hot to handle and too cold to hold; that's funky like a monkey, the sky's the limit, and space is the place. Ohhhhhh Yeeeaaaaaahhh!!"

Where are you now, Macho Man when Syed needs you the most? I implore you to bless him with your rocket boots.

Nonsense. People like Dawkins shine a light on the damaging effects of Islam and other religions by speaking up in public. Which is something you cannot do in an Islamic country unless you want to get beheaded or burned alive in a cage or thrown to your death from the top of a tall building.

atheism is high way to islam

Wrong again. Ignorance and poverty are the primary factors that allow the disease of Islam of flourish in some parts of the world. If children never learn about art and science and literature, but spend their formative years memorizing a dead book from many centuries ago, and do not have any skills to lean on when they grow, up or any jobs to allow them to lead their lives in peace and comfort, they are likely to turn to hatred and violence. Which is the case for many fundamentalist Islamic countries.

thank you richard dawkins you ass

Christianity may well be sheltering us from the horrors of fundamentalist Islam.

I think that time has passed. You have been posting on these forums for many years and the last thing you want to do is learn. You shown up once in a while, post a one liner, then run away when others point out that your arguments don't work. You are a coward.

No. In the west it is tolerance for idiotic ideas that is helping Islam spread in the west. In the west, the idiocy is only pointed out.

It is the intolerance for alternate ideas in Islamic countries that hinders the spread of other religions and atheism in those countries. Those holding alternate ideas in Islamic countries are often physically assaulted.

Or he was simply referring to a lesser of two evils? Have you given that possibility some thought?

Depends to a fair degree upon what country you live in, I'd guess. Dawkins seems to many of us to be overdoning the fuss.
