SUNDAY REVELATIONS: Bigotry of the atheists

Bob Raymond , a frequent commentator here.  Appatenlty, having hacked TA, he is now trying to hack my UW account and has appeared n the list of people trying to access my UW listserv account.

Bigotry is not limited to believers. Atheists too are given to demonization of others’ beliefs … something that is soo easy when those believers themselves believe in gods, angels and … yes demons.
My trouble with this post is accounting for the brilliance and kindness of believers .. what would the author have me do about Hillel, Cesar Chavez, Gandhi, Maimonides, Pope Francis, Ibrahim al Fazari, Newton >>>>> ??

Over at HorsesAss, “Deathfrog” spews:

I’m not a Christian. I despise orthodoxy in all its forms. Religion has provided rationales for all sorts of mayhem and shit over the centuries that cannot be fathomed by rational people. I can not, nor will I ever respect a manufactured belief system that is so obviously designed to suppress the advancement of intellect and Liberty as the “Abrahamic” religions. I consider the people who adhere to such belief systems to be be irrational for the most part. It is impossible for an individual raised from birth who has been steeped, indeed drowned in such a belief system their whole life to step outside of that set of cognitive parameters, even if they decide later in life to embrace rationality and forswear that faith. Nearly all the self-professed Atheists I know are from Jewish or Catholic backgrounds. I suspect there are very good reasons for this. Orthodoxy is just another form of slavery.

Forgive me, as a non Christian, of complimenting Deathfrogg by saying “How Christian of you!”
