Comments on: Intelligent Design discussion gains some compassion, perhaps? http://gods4suckers.net/archives/2005/11/20/intelligent-design-discussion-gains-some-intelligence/ THIS BLOG IS NO LONGER ACTIVE. We've retired this blog, but the GifS gang is now active at Atheist Oasis (atheistoasis.wordpress.com). Visit us there!

They don’t seem to grasp the fact that atheism isn’t a religion and therefore isn’t organized like one. I posted that atheists don’t have an agenda (as we’re not exactly organized to nearly the degree that they are) and that abortion has nothing to do with atheism. We’ll see. I’m doing this because I’ve been accused of bigotry a few times now – something that I’ve never even remotely attempted to deny. I freely admit that I don’t like theists as a whole. But frankly, they are equally bigoted against us – but they are also clueless. “Isn’t it odd how xians project there own mindset on us like this?”

We appreciated that, even in the heart of Kansas, we can watch basic cable that broadcasts a woman saying "fuck", "cock", etc. Waterheads= Hydrocephalics? Sean,

(and just so we're clear, I leave my normal abrasive bitch monster persona behind ;) I'm nice to them.) I'm not very optimistic. After two weeks, I've seen more misconceptions about atheists then I have knowledge. For instance one guy told me that he couldn't see building too many bridges with atheists because he's against abortion and that goes against the "atheist agenda". Were you guys aware we had an agenda? Did I miss a meeting or something? *sighs* I was hoping to be wrong, but . . . ugh . . . This argument between IDiots and the rest of us will never be over with. The best we can hope for is to contain their psychosis.

We need them to answer BASIC questions like "where is your evidence ?" and "can you describe how your theory works ?". Until they can do that, what's the point ?
