 the eBay atheist |
Speaking of outspoken atheists, I was at the Skeptics lecture yesterday (very interesting, all about the book of Revelation) and Michael Shermer made a pointed comment about the New Atheist thing, saying that neither he personally nor the Skeptics Society in general is out to eradicate religion or promote intolerance toward religion.
I have scanned all three atheist sources carefully for polemic, and my honest judgment is that they are gentle by the standards of normal political commentary, say, or the standards of theater and arts critics.

 WASH: Publications
One hears the statement, "I’m not an atheist; I’m an agnostic," as if agnostic were somehow a middle-ground between atheist and theist.
According to the American College Dictionary, an atheist is "one who denies or disbelieves the existence of God or gods." This includes strong atheists, who deny the existence of gods with a positive statement ("There are no gods"), and weak atheists, who simply lack a belief in a god or gods.

 The Moralizing Atheist
The unsaid assumption here is that the atheist thinks their rational posture is "better" and we are expected to adhere to their preference.
If this is not the case then if only the atheist would be upfront about the subjectivism and apparent meaninglessness of their value judgments from the beginning everything would be far easier.
But that is what the moralizing atheist is doing: intolerantly pushing his or her subjective preferences and values onto the pious pastor.

Not once did the paper refer to ‘atheist liberals’ or ‘the atheist left.’” To Coulter, of course, this is all a sign of gruesome bias.

 CULTURAL REVOLUTIONS ONLINE: The Weblog of the Chronicles Editors   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The evolutionist and atheist left ballyhooed the decision as another victory for science over superstition, and for the separation of Church and state.
Yet no one with any sense, least of all serious Christians, is surprised or even disheartened by the decision, for one simple reason: The atheist left runs the courts and the schools, and sober Christians know they will never change that.
Ultimately, they lost because public schools are officially atheist and anti-Christian; and leftist courts, controlled by leftist litigants, lawyers, and judges, will smite anyone promoting any doctrine that threatens their godless creed.
