Comments on: The New Atheists http://www.decrepitoldfool.com/2006/11/the_new_atheists/ Schrodinger's tagline is both clever and banal at the same time Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:56:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: mizlee http://www.decrepitoldfool.com/2006/11/the_new_atheists/#comment-2203 mizlee Sun, 04 Feb 2007 16:19:51 +0000 http://www.decrepitoldfool.com/?p=650#comment-2203 Awwwww.  The Christian right, which is the most obnoxiously strident entity imaginable, is complaining that the new atheists are “strident.”
I don’t see stridency, I see reasoned resistance to the juggernaut of the religiously deluded.  These same lame brains have had deference paid to their beliefs for so long, they think it is some kind of “god-given” right to be respected.  As a life-long atheist, who has finally stood up to be counted, I am grateful to see I have more company than I ever dreamed.  I prefer to think that the firestorm of criticism from the fundamentalists displays, as nothing else in recent memory, that they have finally begun to fear the invasion of reason into their circumscribed worldview.  I say it’s about time.

I think you, like all atheists, are lacking a fear of the unknown that cripples one’s quest for truth.  Maybe we are all wired this way, to fear what we don’t understand, and it takes a major cerebral effort to overcome.
