Are 'militant atheists' the start of a Master Race?
By militant atheists I mean active contemporary atheists, rationalists and skeptics. Mostly active on the web but also more and more so in society itself? How much did the atheists swing the Obama vote? I think it was quite possible that the critical factor in Romney losing, despite his vast political budget and apparent edge, was the fear mongering that only people in existential fear can provide. But fear and loathing is so political and about a quest power isn't it a sign of a movement leaving the egg? of the master race in America and the world which is to come?

I should think so, and I should know since I've started more than a few Master Races myself.

That 'weak' side of cyber-atheism could be subsumed by a mass movement? The true born chick will eat the inside of the egg which protected it so long. There isn't a need for many outgoing types at the top of chain reaction, anyway.Audley Strange wrote:Need to leave the house and work in teams to be a master race.

Aside from the incoherence of the race concept on which the question is founded, "No. Just no." The neuroscience and psychology do not support the thesis, nor the philosophy or biology.

...you failed to mention ideology and if memes are now driving biological evolution, as appears to be the case....for humans at least. Then?

Any mass movement equals the lowest common denominator, hence the opposite of "master race."Scrumple wrote:That 'weak' side of cyber-atheism could be subsumed by a mass movement?

Unless the 'mass movement' corresponds with a general population decline or die-off? and the survivors are a 'mass movement' of the chosen few?Audley Strange wrote:Any mass movement equals the lowest common denominator, hence the opposite of "master race."Scrumple wrote:That 'weak' side of cyber-atheism could be subsumed by a mass movement?

Re: Are 'militant atheists' the start of a Master Race?
Atheists were created by God because his got sick of his followers acting like such twats.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Re: Are 'militant atheists' the start of a Master Race?
Yeah right...
We have a firm, hardened resolve, a cast-iron ideology, a commitment to work together to a common purpose, with no internal bickering to distract us from our glorious march to a unified future...
And Mitt Romney is a marxist...

Marxism shows what is possible in a crisis. Before the Russian revolution there was mostly just anarchism and splintered weak reactionary movements to the established elites of the time. A hundred days changed the world. Crisis transforming the weak into the strong overnight.JimC wrote:Yeah right...![]()

I suppose I could be talked into being a bit militant if I had to.
