Anyone who calls Richard Dawkins a fundamentalist is an idiot of the same magnitude as one who calls him a misogynist or a white supremacist.Eucliwood wrote:Holy shit. *gawks at the presence of Steersman*Steersman wrote:And you don’t think that Myers – as a New Atheist – isn’t acting uncomfortably close to a WBC fundamentalist?

You're not seriously conflating the New Atheists (Dawkins, Dennet, Hitchens et al.) with the Atheism Plus/Skepchick loons (PZ, Rebecca Watson et al.)? Come on, that's trolling pure and simple.PagliacciPigliucci who repeats the tired cliché that the New Atheists are a kind of fundamentalists'?
Seems to me that you’re overreacting to the suggestion that some new atheists act like religious fundamentalists by thinking that someone is claiming that they are all like that. Some similarities with McKen’s conflation of Al’s “some bloggers on FTB†with all of FTB.

@Gumby - aww... why all the self-bashing comments? I don't think you look like an idiot. :o
@AbsurdWalls - I have no idea what you're on about and I don't think I've laid eyes on what you're talking about. Maybe you can do whatever you're on about me doing.

No really. You shouldn't have. :shhh:
