“Settler’s Lament: Atheism is inherently left-wing”
Not necessarily true, but at least as an atheist i can take an honest look at Christain claims that the whole constitution is based on their bible.
“Judah: It's hypocritical to embrace hierarchy, then to deny God's sovereignty.”
Can’t be ANY hierarchy unless God’s at the top? Yeah, that’s an exhaustive analysis.
“Curufinwe Feanaro: New Atheism could have been halfway based if it had kept the message to “There is no god but Gnon, and Darwin is his prophet”,”
Oooh. could have been… ‘based.’ Yeah, that’s what I look for in a world view,being… based.
“but it was quickly and very predictably co-opted by people who stopped believing in God a hundred years ago and just never told anyone.”
Yeah, that’s historically supportable.
“Nate the Great: Precisely. Leftism requires atheism, for with God, one would find it difficult avoiding the inevitable backlash for breaking every Commandment and Beatitude.”
As opposed to all the christains who ignore Jesus’ instructions to be generous and not greedy and say they’ll be forgiven on their deathbeds….
“Adam Milne: Are there not other routes to respecting hierarchy than through God? I personally struggle with which hierarchies to respect and I am an atheist.”
Join the military for a while. Or work in any large corporation for a month. Try that.
“Anonymous: if you are an atheist there is no hierarchy, only self.”
I’m not that impressed by myself.
