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.

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).
This is an oxymoron.
Of course you do, because each and every atheist at heart is a spiteful, petulant child.
I already told you, I'm not an atheist.
This is why I keep telling you to fucking read.
If the boot fits.
I say the same thing about so-called christians who unironically quote Leviticus 24:20.
Which is most evangelicals, mind you.
The second amendment might recognize your right to own guns, but Christ was very explicit that you have no moral grounds to use violence even in self defense. Frankly, any Christian church that isn't a peace church is heretical IMO.
