No Murphys, I think YOU are confusing age.
Dawkins is a bit of a fossil, really.

But I see your point, Murphys. "New Atheists" is a movement within atheism whose goal is to humiliate and isolate Christians, rather than contenting themselves with the "live and let live" philosophy which traditional atheists adopt. Some of the "New Atheists" believe that Chrisitian parents should have their children taken away from them, rather than having the children poisoned with the evil of religion.

Answer 1

Most Atheists are the live and let live variety - on here they tend to be a bit more belligerent due to the anonymity of the Internet. However I did meet one local Atheist who writes a lot of letters to the editor - usually with good points about discrimination and such - and said I liked his writings as I was Pagan and knew the discrimination as well and he told me (to my face -no an email or online) that I was having hallucinations and everything I believed in was made up. OK I was in my workplace, dressed professionally, not like I'm goth or extreme and someone I don't even know is calling me crazy just because of my religion? What is it like to hate everyone? (oh and he is not just a kid - well in to his 50s)

Answer 2

Oh expensive it would not be so undesirable in the experience that your submit replaced into only right down to the actuality you seem to no longer comprehend that that is an open discussion board, or which you lack the tolerance and mind to debate and debate on a public discussion board yet you shame God and mock all Christians with such an physique of concepts! Anti atheism is doing a lot injury to Christianity that that is genuinely anti Christianity – David Manley It takes somewhat purely one to make a quarrel. that is ineffective for the sheep to bypass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism, even as the wolf remains of a diverse opinion. - William Ralph Inge. Why so ignorant of what reasons the backlash against Christianity? all the different religions and atheists stay in peace and are purely attacked by utilising undesirable Christians which reasons all sturdy Christians to melancholy on the wear they do! The self destruction of Christianity is underway and the only component that would provide up that is to desert the poor human thoughts, seek for to rediscover the assumption of a loving god and act like it! Posts like yours thatchronic human beings extra faraway from God are utilising you in direction of hell. So who're you working for the devil or the antichrist because of the fact it particular ain't the loving god!

to meet a true young atheist seems rare but of the real ones some are angry, they feel they've been cheated by church and or religion
its understandable .... let it be

Answer 4

Not me. I'm an atheist, but not a "New Atheist". I'm the "live and let live" type of an atheist. I won't fight against religion, but I will defend myself from religion when attacked. I fight for real freedom of&from religion. I don't want to eliminate any religion, I just want us to get along. I want us to be able to believe what we want in peace from harassment of those who believe something different.
