Is there anything rational about the rational response squad?

Question

I have been seeing and hearing things on them and it seems that all they do is insult,threaten,and mock people that don't feel the same as them. Then they cover up all the crap they spew by saying its because they are trying educate people or they are bullied. Seems to me that they are the bullies.
Im quite positive that I will get alot of hateful responses but I dont care. It just proves that some people get mad when the truth is on them.

nondescript: They are not defending anyone. to defend would mean that someone was in harms way and no one is. They are attacking there is a big difference.

Im not going to type everything on here that they say and do, none of us has that kind of time. If you want to know more then check them out, its probably the best way to gain your own opinion anyway.

Answer 1

Yay, even as an atheist I have to admit they do a lot of bullying. The Rational Response Squad is and has always been a bit extreme but in a way that I believe does damage. Only through intellegent conversations can an atheist deter a christian fanatic from their religion. Though, one time they were on Nightline and fairly debated higher up creationists. They didn't ridicule or disrespect their opponents. In fact, in the end, they ended up on top. So, like most people, they can get a little out of hand. But, above all else, remember that they can play fair as well. I just think it will take a little time with them.

Answer 2

Rational reaction squad made some errors, yet specifically they have been remarkable on their statements. Ray convenience and Kirk Cameron did a awful activity at attempting to communicate creationism and since the such many Creationist might desire to have cringed. average, it went approximately how I estimated it to, the creationists attempting to pursued those with own memories and "thoughts" and the Atheists offering stable information..

Answer 3

Well, since you haven't given any specifics, I can't really address your gripe.

From what I've seen, they've done a good job in exposing the superstition of religion for what it is. The "Blasphemy Challenge" was a great idea, for example. It really drove home the point that we're really not afraid of your superstitious taboos. Also, they seem to have done well for themselves in the media, defending their worldview against the religious proponents.

Answer 4

Religion is a topic that tends to ignite strong feelings in people. These people feel very strongly that religion is the driving force behind most of the bad things that happen in our world. I don't feel that this is accurate, but they're going to be saying it whether I like it or not.

Answer 5

Have you visited their website or chatted with any of them personally? If you're going by "seeing and hearing things on them" rather than investigating for yourself, then perhaps you don't have a right to accuse them of these things.
I personally see nothing wrong in their delivery. They are trying to present their own point of view. They aren't disrespectful at all.

Answer 6

All they have going for them is HATE and an INTERNET CONNECTION.. They're sad plays for "MEDIA HEAT" are laughable.. Brian Sapient is a little twerp that got his a** kicked by Kirk Cameron on NIGHTLINE.. Sad...

His appearance on that show indicated the downfall of the program.. According to the Columbia Journal Review that night was proof that it had "JUMPED THE SHARK"..

Answer 7

what truth are you referring to? a belief in god truth? that's your truth, not mine's. I don't have all the answers to anything, nor do I ever make those sorts of claims. you seem to claim that you do have the truth (or all of the answers). so who again is a bully?

Answer 8

Never heard of them... if you don't like them, ignore them.

Answer 9

um--can you be a bit more specific with yr question?

Answer 10

nope
