We see the democratic government doing it constantly, looking like insincere morons while they do it. And now we see Skeptics bigwigs are willing to bad mouth the dire dedicated skeptics and alienate them in an attempt to soften the gullible theist or newager. Why? "Hey you're behind us 100%, FUCK YOU! We want that guy with the tin foil on his head banging his skull against the fence. that's where real skepticism is!" <br /><br />Yes I know the whole point is education and all that, but it seems like the message being sent is "Question everything, be skeptical...but you atheists STOP QUESTIONING AND BEING SKEPTICAL."Inghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024689390434414829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-72344826250142066052010-08-23T10:51:44.363-05:002010-08-23T10:51:44.363-05:00Leave it to Dawkins to point out something that I ...Leave it to Dawkins to point out something that I completely agree with yet hadn't been raised properly yet in regard to this fiasco.<br /><br /><b>Listening to such ridicule, and reading it, is one of the great joys life has to offer.</b><br /><br />This is so true. But I'm sure some people will see it as him condoning rudeness but it's more than that.
