A Serious Discussion About Militant Atheism

Post by Atheist-Lite » Sat Dec 18, 2010 11:40 pm

In the next few years the US economy is going to tumble and this will give space for religous fundementalists and political right wingers to seek scapegoats for the turmoil. A obvious target will be the atheist minority. It seems there is a choice between becoming a kicking dog and doormat much as the Jewish population did in Germany between the wars and making a robust response to victim status that says move on? A proportionate response to violence or bad laws initiated in a economic collapse might serve to remind people that just being a minority isn't enough to become scapegoats. The time to become kitted out is before the crisis not during in it that would bring unwarranted attention. :tf:

What is it with these weird obsessive atheists? Just go about your life, believe whatever you like, reject what you like, and mind your fucking business.

Kevin, I nominate you to organize the rebellion. :mob:

Any rebellion will fail. The point is to draw a line in the sand. A rebellion will be crushed in a harsh manner. It isn't worth the risk. :read:

You can have Quebec if we can have Newfoundland.
