Such a thing as atheist blasphemy?
Is there a particular symbol that you ascribe notions of "the sacred" to (outside of national symbols, let's not get into that)? Do we as atheists (well the most of us who are) have a sense of the sacred, and therefore of blasphemy?
Nobody expects me...

Re: Such a thing as atheist blasphemy?
Bashing Catholics is a sacrament for Atheists. Therefore, voicing any support whatever for Catholicism, or even merely refusing to disparage and demean a billion Catholics for the wrongdoing of a few would certainly qualify as blasphemy/heresy for Atheists.

Calling Dawkins a hateful, spiteful religion-basher masquerading as an intellectual would likely qualify.

Re: Such a thing as atheist blasphemy?
So, you think Dawkins is a hateful, spiteful religion-basher masquerading as an intellectual too, but that it's not "atheist blasphemy?" Interesting.Animavore wrote:Bullshit.Seth wrote:Calling Dawkins a hateful, spiteful religion-basher masquerading as an intellectual would likely qualify.

No, he just called what you said bullshit, nothing more.

Glad you added that last sentence there. I don't bash all Catholics. I'd have to bash a few people in my family to do so.Seth wrote:Bashing Catholics is a sacrament for Atheists.
