Something that’s has irked me for some time now is how many people latched onto the Atheist movement as an edgy teen but now look back on it in reverence and not shame. This seems to be a common theme in academia and is prevalent even in communities like this one. The lamentation of the “golden-age” of atheism is peak hubris. Dawkins, Hitchens, and crew were deconstructionists of the critical theory variety. Their lives were consumed by the need to disprove God and religion. However these were the shortsighted desires of pseudo-intellectuals, they accomplished nothing productive, and if anything, opened the door for the screaming children that replaced them. I don’t think Dawkins, in his wildest dreams, ever saw his fall come from his own hubris. The intellectual argument over dismantling religion somehow disproving the existence of a god is what fueled the SJWS and their own brand of hubris in the early 2000’s. BTW Dawkins, this is what happens when you remove the “tumor” of religion, you hack. As you see today, Dawkins was swallowed by the stupidity he helped bring about, the Maximilien Robespierre of the modern era, begging for trannies to not cut off his head.

Until it went too fucking far and started ruining childhoods.
"You can't play at their house, they watch the Simpsons."
-One of my friends parents in the mid 90's.
I will not mourn the death of evangelical christianity. It got everything it deserved.
Enjoy your Simpsons reruns and rape gangs. I hope it was worth it.
Maybe if you Christians had stopped being massive faggots on your own we wouldn’t have ended up in this mess.
"Maybe if you'd let me stay up late, I wouldn't have shit the bed, Dad."
Maybe if you faggots hadn’t been so busy working with Clinton to try and ban video games people would’ve been more focused on the subversion of subcultures into communist propaganda machines but you Christ fags didn’t you demanded censorship and oppression you are the sjws your just now the faggots losing to a different faction of faggots.
You sound like Maude Flanders. I don't think anyone's childhood was ruined by not watching the Simpsons.
Don't miss the forest for the trees.
You are missing the point even though you said it yourself. Hardline Christianity recognized the attempts to subvert and degrade the family from very early on. Allowing media in your household that portrays fathers as dumb and lazy, church goers as hypocritical, and the "cool" characters as rebellious against the hierarchy is one of many steps in the process that got us here.
You've just chosen a line farther down the slippery slope and claim we could have stopped there and everything would have been OK. Like, maybe Gay Rainbow Dildo Monkey Story Hour is too far, but there's nothing wrong with a little bit of subversion of family values, right?
A mere century before you were born, children as young as 8 were helping their fathers hunt for food to survive. But you claim you're oppressed because your parents didn't let you watch your favorite cartoons.
Fucking pathetic. You don't deserve to live. I mean it.
Go back, re-read what I said, and then get your phrasing right.
MY place was where people came to get away from their goddamn parents because my parents were live and let live quakers who didn't give a flip what we did as long as at the end of the day we all had two eyes, ten fingers and ten toes.
You had bad parents. They failed you. Something that is abjectly clear just from what you've been writing here.
AGAIN, GO BACK AND READ WHAT I SAID.
I had perfectly fine parents who didn't give a fuck.
A third of my class had evangelical Adolfs for parents.
I despise evangelical christians. Because all the evangelical parents I've met in Iowa turned out to be hypocritcal, emotionally abusive bastards, who use their flawed concept of christ as a beat stick to make their kids miserable. For no other reason than because they think it's right. Not because it worked for them (it didn't).
