@rprnorg Aw. Want to get some coffee?

[rprnorg]

I love you.

[stclairose]

@fidelbogen @blueshogun96 you should check out my video on questioning dogma, if you'd like!

[stclairose]

@blueshogun96  Agreed. It's a shame that more people don't wear the skeptic "hat".

[blueshogun96]

@fidelbogen Quite frankly, even Christians and other religious people should be questioning dogma, even the dogma they agree with. That's just my opinion...

[fidelbogen]

@stclairose Ahhh....it is good to see atheists doing what atheists do best, which is. . . Questioning Dogma.

@Brajabu74 True. Some thinking liberals that do get it, a lot of people like to wear identities like clothing to impress friends. The liberal feminist brand is worn a lot. The posers are people that react emotionally, ad-homing without addressing any point, when their ideology is challenged because its not about change or any truth, its a personal insult to "who they are" its more ego than egalitarian.

Nice to know that reason and logic is not entirely dead in the "all things nice" gender.

@fidelbogen Okay I get what you're saying and I agree with you. I was confused with where it fit into what I'm saying in the video - it seems as if you didn't watch the video, assumed what I was going to say, and responded accordingly ("go hang out with the feminists..."). Let me reiterate that I AGREE with you. =P

@nerdwonder It's the ultimate hubris of wealth. I don't think they are 'logical and smart' when it comes to atheism. I think atheism feeds into; a) their hatred of everything they come from. As you stated - they don't attack Islam on religion. b) it validates a very pliable moral ethic. Another words, it's easy to validate bad behavior. a+b=Feminist.

True Atheists are like true Libertarians.. more people like a single concept for it's convenience, but most don't 'get it'.

[nerdwonder]

Its the liberal atheists, they are smart and logical when it comes to religion, but they are just your typical, indoctrinated, knee jerk, hysterical liberals when it comes to feminism, regurgitating the dogma and having faith every feminist stat they hear is correct with out researching it. The same crowd that shouts "islamaphobe" at those critical of a religion not controlled by their learned enemy "the white man" They're more comfortable dissing the "old white man" run catholic church.

@stclairose It is ironic that feminism is infiltrating Catholics, Lutherans, etc. . . .AND the atheists. Ironic indeed!

But it goes to show that the feminist agenda has a life of its own. It is not truly "supporting" either Atheism OR Religion, but only seeking to spread its influence.

In the end, feminism is just another form of fundamentalism, so it is sad to see us free-thinking atheists drinking the feminist kool-aid. Honestly, I'd expect better from us, of all people! :-(
