This is Why People Hate Atheists

I think it's because he's a thick-skulled, shit-talking swill who has taken it as his life-long mission to deride the church and any creationists into oblivion, which is in tune with the everyday super-outspoken atheist who will do anything, so long as they can make a name for themselves as a renowned atheist, no matter how many friends they lose or people they leave dead and bloodied along the way, just so long so they can make a name for themselves as a renowned atheist, no matter how many friends they lose or people they leave dead and bloodied and dying along the way.

Dawkins believes that his beliefs and morality are Truth, and that anyone who does not subscribe to them is wrong and needs to be converted or eliminated.

Dawkins, in short, subscribes to the kind of faith that leads to fascism, totalitarian control, and genocides.

Relevant. This lecturer says that offending religious folks is "scary." Especially when they're teenagers at an Oxford summer school, and you have people from, AROUND THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD. She even referred to herself as a "vociferous Atheist" and then pretty much insults these kids by saying they have a closed mind and can't take jokes.

For someone conducting a lecture on memes, she sure did spend an inordinate amount of time ridiculing religions.

By the time I moved on to showing Internet memes and viral videos more than half the audience was gone.

that's because you failed at the point of your lecture, idiot.

This is what happens when you spend most of your time in an Echo Chamber.

I'm sure she fully believed her lecture would be well-received, and the audience would find her wise and clever.  If she was lecturing a crowd of Dawkinites, they probably would have.  But she clearly has no idea how to speak to anyone outside her peer group.

The comments section on that article largely agree with the bolded.  I registered (under my own name, no less) just to disagree with the point of the article, but I'm probably better off shouting at clouds.

I peeked at the comments, and decided to not waste precious calories on typing.

It's remarkable that the idea that she was simply not delivering a good lecture didn't even occur to her. It's also somewhat remarkable that she was misusing the word meme in the way that has become endemic on Facebook, but more or less already abandoned by young people.

'You are offending us. We will not listen,'

riiiiight. They totally said that. That sounds like a thing teenagers would say.

Oh wait.
