Atheists can be the most aggressively "religious" of the lot
That Dawkins bloke is like the Spanish Inquisition

People say this
But I've never had an atheist turn up on my door and try to convert me
Never had an atheist standing in town covered in shouting at me and telling me I'm not going to hell because it doesn't exist
Never been told off by family members for taking Darwin's name in vain

I think rather that Dawkins is a tit, and lots of internet atheists are smug shits, but generally it's the religious who tend to be most 'religious'

He's not even that bad, he's just grumpy and stubborn.
If every religious leader was ONLY grumpy and stubborn it wouldn't be too much of a problem.

I do think a lot of atheists take it waaaaay too far and whine about 'oppression' which plainly doesn't exist
And also think that they're superior just because they don't believe, which is utter shite.

But still, it's just annoying. That's all, not like telling AIDS ridden regions of the world to lay off on the condoms.

you are aware of what the Spanish inquisition actually did?
Fairly sure Dawkins has killed and tortured less people.

Edit: Inquisition: 3000, Dawkins: nil.

spastic.

Sorry, agreeing with this lot ^
Being outspoken and opinionated isn't quite the same as thousands of years of oppression and genocide.

you've been perfectly sensible

No we're not
We're just arguing that lecturing about not believing in god is not quite as bad as torturing people in the name of catholicism.

Certainly not as much fun.

Dawkins is doing it because if everyone realised that there is no God
and this is it, and this is the only shot we have. The advancements in science, medicine and space travel would be astronomical. Where as the JW's who knock on my door every fucking week are doing nothing to advance society.

Admittedly by trying to disprove your point we've all acted in a way that sort of verifies your point
BUT FUCK IT
YOU'RE WRONG

Bit confused here
A quick review of the replies here reveals more historical analysis than Monty Python jokes. What in the name of hell are you lot playing at?

What's Latin for Roman?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 28 Feb 2013, 12:01, Reply)

Roman?

(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Thu 28 Feb 2013, 12:03, Reply)

Yes it does.
Depends, the culture or an individual?
( Kroney, Thu 28 Feb 2013, 12:03, Reply)

No it doesn't
Sorry, is this a full argument or just the half-hour?
