No I didn't. I asked you a question

Who do you usually ask whether you think things are positive or negative?

The evidence is the bigotry and ignorance of some very prominent atheists. Bigotry and ignorance that is almost indistinguishable from religious bigotry and ignorance.

I put my faith in the same things.
But that doesn't mean that there aren't lots of atheists who are not smart.
The belief that one's opinions are driven purely by rationality is one that can lead you down some very stupid paths.
No-one's opinions are pure reason (although it is a good guide).

So you are telling me that because you, specifically, aren't stupid or easily led, no atheists are?
That's not a particularly solid argument.

Yup.
A fairly tiresome lot. A good chunk of whom spend their time getting angry at 'wokeness' these days.
ronanmc.bsky.social
No-one said that. I was pointing out how the first part of your comment undermines the second.

But following and being led isn't a human trait?

Fascinating.

Bearing in mind that "new atheism" was at its height at the time.
ronanmc.bsky.social
Was it sudden?
I think a lot of atheists aren't very bright and are easily lead. I dont see it as an extreme position.

That was well over a decade ago, and he has explained and apologised for his choice of words.

"the menswear guy isn't fair and balanced." do you even hear yourself?

"fork lady is eroding public confidence."

"ladder baby is undermining the credibility of the field."

"lemon raccoon is acting without transparency or accountability."

that's what you sound like.

Trump: Starting October 1st, 2025, we will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any branded or patented
Pharmaceutical Product, unless a Company IS BUILDING their Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plant in America. "IS BUILDING" will be defined as, "breaking ground" and/or "under
construction." There will, therefore, be no Tariff on these Pharmaceutical Products if construction has started. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
