I couldn’t have said it better.
In a March 7 opinion piece, lifelong atheist David Lawrence chides his fellow atheists for their boorish behavior. In the process, he admits what any thinking person knows: Atheism, which as a movement is an unbelief system about nothingness, has shaped itself into “a dogmatic religion.”
A smattering of atheists have written opinion pieces lately, chiding their fellow atheists for their general boorishness. I understand how embarrassing it must be. If you took the Westboro Baptist Church and their tiny congregation, and multiplied it by many tens of thousands of media-savvy internet trolls, school bullies, elitist politicos and cocktail-party-lecturing-hectoring-badgering boors, you would have the public face of today’s atheism.
It’s about as attractive as trench mouth, and as intellectual as a barroom fight.
From The Daily Caller:
Atheism. The lack of values that led to slaughters by the fascists and the communists.
Let the dead rest in peace. Don’t let the atheists degrade the holiness of the silence of 9/11 victims with their raucous courtroom antics.
It seems that atheists are constantly putting their soulless shoes in their mouths. Not only at Ground Zero but at the Oscars the atheists complained because Matthew McConaughey thanked God when he won an Oscar for the best actor as a result of his acting in “Dallas Buyer’s Club.”
McConaughey thanked God who “graced my life with opportunities that I know are not of my hand or any other humankind.”
In a normal society McConaughey would have been respected for his views. I respect him for his views and I am an atheist. However, in Brooklyn, which is my barometer of simpleminded liberalism, a number of people mocked him for being religious.
Atheism has become a dogmatic religion. Instead of criticizing and improving real religion, it has demeaned it and degraded itself.
