My thoughts: she pretty much sounds like I do when I am po'ed, only replace the religious with athiest. the only parallel she seems to make with atheism and faith (or religion) is an intolerant attitude to those who do not share their beliefs. I think the real issue in this post is the posters views about the intolerance of people who claim to be free thinkers and liberals, and I can see where this poster is coming from. if you are new to the freethinking community, as I was a year or two ago, it is easy to confuse "frustration" with "oh, they don't tolerate anyone". and I think that is the problem with liberals and freethinkers today. We are so shit on from all sides, we are angry, and in our anger we are lashing out in any way possible, because being rational obviously doesn't work. So, we say the wrong things to the wrong people and all of a sudden athiests are intolerent fools who are just as bad as fundies.
Its too early, and I have a long day, so if this doesn't make any sense....blah!!
