There is a lot of stupid going on here but... How are they getting facts from the prep? Are they psychic? Can they commune with my dead guinea pig? Because I have questions.

Heroin and Methamphetamine used to be widely used medicines. Now they are illegal they are much rarer. The system works.

 He's unemployed. He's a "human secularist", which means he's a whiny liberal atheist times ten. His back problems all come from being fat and sitting on his rear end for his whole life. I guess these are all things to be thankful for.

The White Dragon posted:Human secularist as opposed to, what, wolfkin secularist? I think it's a term he made up himself. I'd look up an exact post about it, but he posts like 50 times a day and I'm not wading through all that bullshit. It seems to mean that he thinks everyone in the world would hold hands and share a coke if it weren't for the ~*~evil republicans and Catholics~*~. He reposts dozens of things from conservative and religious facebook groups with rants about how they're all murderers and rapists and America has no empathy anymore. He also seems to think Canada is some kind of paradise where everyone lives in harmony under their socialized medicare umbrella. Cuniculous has a new favorite as of 05:52 on Sep 10, 2014 |

What he means to say is "secular humanist". Depending on language and intellectual barriers, that is kinda close.

Secular Humanism is a legit thing and it has been for more than a hundred years. The following people were/are Humanists: Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Isaac Asimov, Richard Feynman, Buckminster Fuller, Bertrand Russell, Carl Sagan, Jonas Salk, George Takei, Mark Twain, Bill Nye, Charles Schultz. Tragically, there are bad eggs too, since Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchins, Bill Maher, Penn Jillette, Joss Whedon, and Seth MacFarlane are also humanists.

No one really gives you poo poo over it, but you still have to add that when you are filling out Heavenistani government forms, so it's kind of a hassle that way.

I'm with you on the other guys, but why do you put Joss Whedon on the bad side? Note I'm not a superfan, but as far as I know he's mostly okay.

That's why I asked if it was "even slightly true". I'm wondering if there's some passage that can basically be ridiculously misconstrued to say that, kinda like how people go "LEVITICUS SAYS NO GAYS".

It's hard for me to put someone who's obnoxiously correct on the same level as, say, Westboro or Operation Rescue or ISIS or whatever who are obnoxiously wrong. Let's compare our "extremists". One side beheads people, pickets soldiers' funerals, and blows up abortion clinics. The other side is socially awkward and smug on the internet. So I find the whole "Dawkins is just as bad as the religious fundamentalists!" kind of disingenuous. Imagined has a new favorite as of 17:49 on Sep 10, 2014 |

Dawkins has literally compared raising a child in a religious household to child molestation and constantly feels the need to tell the victims of non-violent rape that they shouldn't whine so much because it wasn't VIOLENT rape. He's pretty up there on the lovely scale, even if he's nowhere near ISIS levels.

Yeah, I guess I'm arguing against a straw man in this particular instance, but I have definitely seen people make the argument I was talking about regarding Dawkins many times.

I imagine his rather unpalatable views on the subject are a coping mechanism. If you were literally molested by a religious authority, it makes sense that in his mind "religion = molestation". Likewise, "I was raped but at least it wasn't horrible, violent rape so I can get over it" isn't a bad attitude to have. A poo poo thing to say to other victims but in his own misguided way he's trying to provide the solution that worked for him.

They're probably not talking about him being "obnoxiously correct" rather they're referring to the fact that he's said some really dumb and terrible stuff. Then usually just says something worse when he tries to explain what he meant. I'm not religious by any stretch, but I don't see him as being much different from some fundamentalists because he also seems to enjoy shoving his beliefs down people's throats when really he has about the same amount of "proof" they do. Which is probably what most people are referring to rather than literally comparing him to something like ISIS. Shbobdb posted:Not to defend him, but Dawkins was molested and raped as a child.

Whatever the hell "mild pedophilia" is by his definition is apparently not harmful.   This is what I meant by constant "foot in mouth" moments.

The worst thing about that kind of statement is like... who asked him? Who cares what he thinks about rape? Why would he even say anything about it? I could understand making controversial statements if you were somehow involved in the question, or had some stake in something... but to just vomit it out there and make yourself look like an rear end in a top hat for no reason and no possible benefit to anyone? He's just got a large platform and a severe case of the condition many very intelligent and accomplished people (particularly men) acquire that they start to think that because they're intelligent and accomplished in one field, they're suddenly qualified or even obligated to make statements about every subject in every field. PHD-itis. If he wants to talk about molecular biology or evolution I will listen all day long. He's done brilliant work in that field. He needs to learn to ask himself whether he's actually accomplishing anything by even making a statement about anything else. Imagined has a new favorite as of 18:37 on Sep 10, 2014 |

And to take it back to idiots on social media, I called out the Oatmeal guy for making the claim that there is no such thing as a dangerous atheist extremist once and got mobbed by his fans telling me that "those people aren't real atheists, just assholes". Ah, the True Scotsman - does he really exist?
