Re: The New Atheists; The Cult of Science?

Quote:
The "atheistic fascism" that's grown more visible in recent years has come from the shift of most atheists from having to spend time justifying an atheistic worldview, to actively promoting the concept that religion is "evil" and must be eliminated if man is to move forward or even survive.
This is the dark side of atheism, which reflects its good side. This dark side doesn't produce anything useful, like the good side, but gains life at the expense of others. A good analogy was the McCarthy era, where he made everyone paranoid about Communists. This created nothing useful, but it did make a name for him, but only at the expense of many people. It is sort of like a human virus, that has no life of its own, until it can infect a cell and use the machinery of the cell, against the cell, so it can propagate.

The good side of atheism has led to science and a better standard of living. It also gives people the freedom to question things. This has become necessary because religion has become sort of a dime a dozen, with each little group their own self appointed authorities. Like it or not this is religion with an atheist flavor, made possible by the good atheists. In other words, each may differentiate its position, which is good, but many also bring to question the validity of other religious views, just like the atheists. The atheists do this 100% percent but these sub-religions may do it 90%. They could recruit atheist mercenaries to undermine the 90% they don't like to achieve the same affect.

Since the good side of atheism casts a shadow, which is irrational, it is not fully detached from religion. That is why this aspect needs some form of human sacrifice. Those with religion must be offered as sacrifices to the god of atheism. This will appease his anger allowing atheist heaven.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
