We are arrogant because we are right. I don't think that is too hard to understand. Then again most religious people don't understand calm, collected logic to begin with.
I would preach (haha) intolerance too. Anyone who is religious and seeks power should be ridiculed and harassed. They should be made to feel uncomfortable about expressing their beliefs in public when they are as asinine as believing in a power higher than mankind. They are agents of regression and stagnation and should be thought of as a social disease rather than a social benefit. Religious elements want to hold back humanity and will be the death of it. |

So you are ceding your ability to make your own choices to me essentially. Cool. |

As far as I can understand from the first ten minutes, the whole thing is one huge straw man.
His whole point, if you can call it that, seems to be that atheists are not necessarily less bellicose and intolerant than religious people. The thing is, there is no one who has ever claimed that - even though it obviously is a bad thing to have one more excuse for war, violence and intolerance, and atheism by definition can not give such an excuse.
But all this is actually irrelevant, because the important issue is not the effects of a belief or unbelief, but if its true. Theism still has no evidence or arguments. |
