I think we can all agree that modern day super atheists are neckbeards. Their aggressive, 2edgy4u attacks on religion are usually devoid of the same rational thinking sometimes the same empirical standards they accuse religion for neglecting

BUT (and this is a big butt) is their behaviour understandable, dare I say necessary, in a world with as much scientific ignorance and religious dogma as ours? Where half of the most powerful country believes the Bible is the literal truth, where many believe in ghosts, were not even appealing to their commercial sensibilities with celebrity scientists and online magazines can shake them from their ignorance, where freedom of religion is a defence mechanism rather than a democratic right, where major players in religious institutions continue to go unopposed in their control of the public's concessioness, dont pay taxes yet their donors can gain tax breaks, where guys like Ken Ham can make a living spreading ignorance and lies

What do we do leftypol/ if not cry out in anguish at how autistic the religious debate has become?

People can believe whatever they want as long as I get my socialism.

I think we can all agree that threads with "I think we can all agree" and are a call to action towards Holla Forums over a petty issue that isn't worth our time to address or an extremely broad issue that we have no influence over or both are shit-tier threads.

That is an impressive runon sentence.

forgot to sage

check em

well your a faggot :^)

I was just making an observation, you nigger.

OP, why are you a butthurt theocrat?
I understand if your ass is still sore from the pounding Hitchens gave you bloodthirsty religious fanatics, but why not keep your mass murdering, one state religion fantasy to yourself and your pathetic religious cult?

Besides, I hate how some posters in Leftypol will bend over for Christianity, ignoring that if you combine religion with communism/socialism, the religion will take precedence and can be exploited by those in power.
And I don't think the fact that many people simply naively believe in the Bible should be accepted blindly as a means of organizing communism/socialism.

Lots of people on Holla Forums bend over all the time for reactionary bullshit that superficially seems to be compatible with communism. It's a symptom of being someone who posts on Holla Forums and takes anything about this shit-tier site seriously.

Its weird I came off that way because I'm a butthurt atheist that's frustrated half the country is retarded

Someone didn't read the second half

Am I being too bold in saying that I hate this stupid preoccupation with reddit? Sure a lot of the site is trash, but this meme that's sprung up around it is cancerous. In fact I can't imagine someone having such a preoccupation with the place that hasn't come from there.

I don't care what website you're from, I browse dozens of websites a day. Anyone whose identity is based around a single website is a loser.

The OP isn't advocating for that at all

I personally don't care for reddit, but reddit is just as shit-tier as imageboards - just for different reasons. So no, I don't think there's anything wrong with that statement. My palette for shitty internet communities is just more suited to imageboards than reddit I guess.

That third image is dreadful.

Do you even divergent evolution and homologous structures?

Wew lad it almost looks liek you are following a script there.

I'm disappointed, Freud.

I think the opposite, I think their behavior is inexcusable precisely because the role they took for themselves (of attacking religious institutions and values, of spreading scientific knowledge, whatever) is actually important and historically overdue, and they turn it into a weird self-congratulatory thing that serves their egos above their cause.

And the second problem is that they often go way out of their leagues and start spitting ignorant shit against things they have very little knowledge of. The constant bashing of philosophy is an example, and very counter-productive given how often they engage in (pretty vulgar) debates about epistemology, morality, ethics, values, etc.

Also quotes like that first pic make me really skeptical about how much Hitchens has read and understood Marx

what i like the most about this pic is that the glasses peaking out at the sides look like cat ears on the serious face mask

Goddamn!

...

A sign from someone who has their head too far up their own ass.

It's far worse. Not just in software capabilities but in software choices. It's better for links and therefore news and usually asking questions like discussion starters or help. For actual discussion its shit which you can see best on for example fullcommunism or socialism.
We can talk about problems with image boards all day but in the end we have some of the best discussion on the net on these. I would make IDs board-wide if not site-wide though., and make banning shitposters little more commonplace. I think those changes would make this site tight and further problems with it would be the community and not the site layout.

Ever seen Karl Marx's face? Back to tumblr with you.

Tumblr can fuck off

So new age atheism is basically a form of idpol?

Do SJW's hate both atheists and religious fundamentalists? Because I only really dislike the latter I just find the former really annoying

I'm not a creationist, these images just show how fucked everything is

At their worst New Atheists are useful idiot liberals/progressives who, at the least, have helped spread or at least encourage people to be hostile against the worst of religion such as the Christian Right.

At their worst they are Neocons (like Hitchens and Harris) who want to get into bed with the Elite Liberals/Neoliberals running shit by helping give them a "rational" form of Neocon ideology (see: Imperialism with a human face) to peddle to the masses and should be hung in the town square

The majority are harmless cringe cows so I'm pretty indifferent

Hitchens described himself earlier on as a Marxist, and later on as a socialist. I don't think it's fully accurate to say he was a neocon; just that he had some opinions that would be classed as such.

...

Apparently people just cant make a broad assessment anymore

Are "Super Atheists" anything like the Super Lolitas advertised in those NSA spam threads?

I like Hitchens, but lets face it. Atheism doesn't give you an "enlightened" world view where you right 100%. His anti-religion hatebonner led him to be pro-Bush for crying out loud.

We have this thread every day too.
Fedoras are more persistent than the vegans.
