@freethinkerdangerous how is this incentive to be a critical thinker? from what i can tell this is a framework for people who already have critical thinking and would like to commune with other like minds

I'm a dim. Proudly.

1) It's condescending. It assumes that theists are, in contrast, dim. It's not what you believe that makes you smart, it's why you believe what you believe. There are plenty of theists that are bright. Acquinas for one.
So 2) just because you're an atheist doesn't mean you're bright.You can be an atheist out of bad reasoning just like you can be a theist for bad reasoning.
We shouldn't need incentive to be critical thinkers.
I think Hitchens was right in God Is Not Great. It's cringeworthy.

I like this guy

@Juefawn They are made poor by bad government.

@fredriknorand Sure, but that's just because of conditioning. Take any bright or Atheist and indoctrinate it. You only would out grow it, because of alternative views. If I had never read Darwin, I would still think the earth came about in seven days.

@Juefawn because religious people are idiots

@freethinkerdangerous I think just like the opposite of Gay, (when the term was first used for homosexuals) is not Sad, or Glum, but Straight. Instead there is a new opposite for Bright used in this way - Super. Those who believe in the Supernatural are Supers - not a negative term, just different. Gay may have started out condescending etc but its a term that has helped a LOT of people out of oppression and helped them find a new, true identity. Same for Brights, I think.
