My little rant of the day:

It's so funny when Atheists try to make fun of the Bible and do so extremely poorly, because their knowledge of Christianity is so terrible. And they always pick Christianity, and blame it all on that, without even taking the moment to conceive that 27 books in the damn Bible are straight up Jewish doctrine, including the written prophecies of Christ (Mostly in Isaiah.) You say that, and they get all defensive that you're calling them anti-Semitic. It's funny.

They take such pride in being "educated" and yet want nothing to do with learning about the faiths that they are so adamantly against.  :lulz: I wonder what they are afraid of? Actually learning that it's okay to be a decent human being? Because that's all Jesus really wanted on the bottom line: For people to be decent human beings.

My impression was that this thread's intention was to provoke people into examining their own hidden prejudices, and atheists happened to be the group the OP used to do so.  Or was I wrong and its just atheist bashing?  Because I could have sworn what we supposedly learned here was that bashing whole groups was sorta, I dunno, counter productive?

Yeah, this isn't actually an atheist-bashing thread. It's OK to poke fun at inconsistencies and hypocrisies that some Atheists perpetuate, but the main drive of the thread is not "Atheists suck", but rather "Look out, Atheists! People are saying some fucked-up shit in the name of Atheism, and you might want to look at it reealllll close because it might stick to you".

Honestly I would really like to see more examples of other Atheists speaking up against bigotry within the community, if you happen upon them.

Have you read about the Atheist Turing tests? I'll look for a link in a little while. They happen once a year.

Quote
This is a contest inspired by a post by Bryan Caplan in which he came up with the idea of an Ideological Turing Test. The conventional Turing Test is a computing challenge — the goal is to build a computer that can carry on a conversation via text well enough that a panel of judges can't tell the difference between the computer and a group of human ringers.

Caplan challenged partisans to see if they could explain and the positions of their opponents well enough to pass as one of their ideological enemies. He offered his original challenge to Paul Krugman for an economics-off, but I've borrowed the idea and put a religious spin on it. Here, Christians will sham amidst a group on genuine atheists and vice versa. The plausibility of their conterfeits will be determined by open voting.

If you want to see if you are capable of telling the difference between an Atheist (or Christian) and somebody who is just pretending to be an Atheist (or a Christian), you can play that game here:

What I really like about that ideological Turing Test is that it's very effective in making you actually think like the other "side". I think that is much more useful and effective than laughing at Christians for being stupid and mean, or laughing at Atheists for being stupid and mean.

Hmmm, it does look very interesting! Thanks for the links.
