Thread Name: BS: 'Militant Atheism' is a propaganda term
Subject: RE: BS: Strident atheism not a religion
Boom Boom!

I was expecting a Basil Brush logic to Mr Shaw's rhetorical question and once it appeared thought I'd add the last bit.

Im not open minded. I'm not free thinking. I am open minded. I am free thinking.

Take your choice.

Here's a few bits to help you with the quest you seem fascinated with.

I see no evidence for the literal approach to ancient Scripture so I dismiss it out of hand and treat those who think so as either brain washed delusionists or people with an agenda.

People who use their belief as a metaphor to help them through life are deserving of a pint when I see them in the pub. What ever floats your boat.

Organised religion always has an agenda beyond its membership. I treat with caution and question them when they creep outside their box.

Elephants and microprocessors are mutually exclusive in the observable world. Science and theology are too.

Im a simple lad but this is a simple subject and making it difficult is to betray an agenda.
