Is modern atheism just dressed up bigotry? Yes.

And heer we get to the root of the problem. #1 - He is not denying any of the contentions that I made. a. Dawkins and Hitchens are indeed bigots. So are many of the other prominent atheists who views of religion have no actual bearing in religious doctrine or practice. b. The clearing houses of atheism are littered with inaccuracies of religion and are often used to justify atheistic positions. c. The forum, with five examples provided, leanly finds evidence of nihilistic bigotry and even the pretense of discussion is avoided. He denies not a single one of those claims. he then, for the third time now, posits agnostic atheism claim that its merely disbelief somehow magically absolves an atheist from having to either explain his position or acknowledge what is clearly happening all him - a powerful magic that disbelief is? The criticism that his flows from the very top of the atheist though pyramid is ignored. The criticism that this concept is not supported by logic is ignored. Indeed, he has failed to provide a single academic source of logic to support his contention. He has avoided the criticism of what he is clearly avoiding, the conduct of atheists of a massive scale. Instead, as we see, he continues to do just that. Somehow, by taking the claims of bigotry, and then shoring them of their context and support, there is no bigotry. There is no bigotry merely because the claim of bigotry is made? The actions of atheist on a massive scale are reduced to personal note where the conduct of a single poster is apparently the real issue. Indeed, my distinguished adversary presents not a single source to back up even a single claim, and has steadily ignored the presentation of evidence, even from atheistic sources. If he is attempting to prove that I have called atheists bigoted, that would be a contention that is self evident in this debate's title. One has to wonder why he would waste his time attempting to 'prove' a point that is conceded. A case that atheist is NOT bigoted? It hangs merely upon what appears to be a desperate adherence to the claim that disbelief means ... you don;t have to address anything at all that is happening in atheism these days? Even the pretense that this is valid is demonstrated by the absolute refusal to lay a foundation for this claims prudence. It is little more than a statement of faith and one that, as I state repeatedly, is meant to avoid the discussion of what atheists are claiming in droves. It does JUST that. Perhaps we should remove even the pretense that this is personal observation against atheism of me alone? Remove any possibility of an appeal to spite rather than logical reasoning? We should remove the pretense entirely that atheism is about my view or it, or even albinos view of it. Atheism is not one person. Indeed, what albino does in studiously avoiding discussion of the antics of atheism by listing disbelief is not something that he alone does is it? It too happens on a massive scale with atheists - and always at the point of debate when they should be forced to examine the claims of atheists. Its intent is clear and clarion - its nothing but an excuse to avoid discussing behavior that is wide spread within the atheist community. As we can see, atheism suffers for these antics: http://digitaljournal.com... http://www.scientificamerican.com... As you can see, atheists as a community are not well respected. Over time, that problem is actually getting worse for atheism. The idea that atheism coming out of the proverbial closet should be viewed even worse is counter-intuitive. Clearly we can see that atheists have no devil horns as they stand in the light correct? So why the continued slide? Because just like other hate groups, people can very clearly and very cleanly hear what atheists are saying. When you stand there screaming: "You guys poison everything!" "You guys should be declared mental heath cases!" "You guys are a threat to liberty!" "You guys are the source of all evil!" "You guys reject science, and are basely irrational!" "You guys reject science, and only have opinions!" "You guys are sociopaths!" "You guys all hate women, despite half of you being women!" "You guys, despite not owning slaves, support slavery!" Isn't this exactly what Nazis said about Jews? Does disbelief in any way justify or explain these constant flow of these comments? Additionally, we listen to our prayers be interrupted, we find ourselves served by law suits of often dubious nature, some seeking specifically to exclude us, based solely on a faith choice, from things like competition for federal funds - as if our choice to be religious alone somehow sans we cannot properly steward funds - despite running businesses and churches, etc. These claims are ridiculous. And yet the first time the hackles of the atheist are raised is when someone expounds to the steady drum beat of irrational nihilism that doesn't even have the pretense of listening to us by calling these actions what they obviously are: bigotry. If atheists don;t like being called bigots, they should perhaps take a closer look at what hey exclaim, of no atheist worth his salt would accept my claim that I think atheists are bigots ... merely because I disbelieve the claims of atheists that there is no God. Such a pretense is absurd.. Yet albino advocates just this standard in reverse. Somehow, merely disbelieving in God means what exactly? That the steady drumbeat of bigotry is not occurring? That the constant barbs and insults are not happening? That New Atheists are no involved in this travesty? http://www.policymic.com... http://spectator.org... http://www.theguardian.com... Clearly its been noticed. And in case you atheists have missed it, its having an effect on your community. The utter failure, indeed the embrace of bigots, has left it to the outside world to condemn and expose the antics of Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris et al. And as we are left with the cheering section that openly advocates their positions thousands of times over in forums just like this one and in public, and then retreats to the excuses of 'just disbelief' to fail to back up those claims when confronted. At some point, its simpler just to call a spade spade. When someone runs around constantly denigrating people based solely on a faith choice, pretends is rational, and then totally ducks the behavior by referring to a pretense that he cannot logically support? Its simple bashing born of intense dislike and prejudice. Its just bigotry. The world is unimpressed. Like the Klan, theses excuses are meant merely to prevent the discussion of such irrational positions like all religion everywhere somehow poison everything - a contention that my opponent isn't even bothering to acknowledge wis being said by a great many atheists. Indeed, my opponent isn't even trying to pretend that the behavior of atheists isn't often scandalous. His entire argument is that disbelief means its OK. And yet, he doesn't like being a bigot ... while that excuse prevents him from addressing the very actions that have lead to atheism being perceived as bigoted. Atheism cannot be held accountable because of a single magic word: disbelief. That is wantonly illogical, and what that irrationality is excusing is obvious: bigotry, on a massive scale.
