LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! TRYING TO CLAIM THE TERM 'COMING OUT' AS YOUR OWN, ATHEISTS? WELL TOO BAD. WE ALREADY OWN IT. AND YOUR SCARLET LETTER WILL NEVER BE AS ~*~FABULOUS~*~ (OR AS FORMERLY-TRAGICALLY-OPPRESSIVE) AS THE INVERTED PINK TRIANGLE. GIVE IT UP.
I promise that you will never see me describing my own website as a 'clear-thinking oasis.'
LGBT people who are also religious need to be more on top of this, I feel. Dawkins has been trying to force the atheists:society::gays:society analogy for decades now.
See what you make of this. (Hint: that ecumenical council did not do what he thinks it did. Mediaeval history is MY turf.) And this (Hint: that is, quite simply, NOT HOW METAPHYSICS WORKS.) And when pressed to come up with a 'code of atheist ethics', these people came up with 'if nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do.' I am not even fucking kidding. Think about that sentence for a second.
If a Christian said the sort of things about Hindus that PZ Myers says about religious people generally, s/he would be taken in for hate speech.
SO VERY MUCH. May I point you to (atheist) historian Will Durant's positive assessment of the Papacy's role in helping mediaeval Jews survive popular hatred? May I point you to the many philosophical arguments against Myers's ridiculous certitude as to the non-existence of the soul? May I point you to COMMON HUMAN FUCKING DECENCY.
I really do think that the LGBT movement should TAKE BACK THE TERMINOLOGY from these people.
