Why should we bother with you guys anyway?

An apropos sentiment for modern America, where fools like Mike Huckabee are given serious consideration for the most powerful office in the world.

I would actually not mind Huckabee. I've heard him speak many times, and even though he's super religious, he has warped it to fit a very decent system of living and morality. I disagree with him on a few key issues, but the guy has his head in the right place IMHO. I haven't seen him speak in many months though, so if he said something really stupid in one of the debates, I haven't heard it--so don't hold me to this opinion if that's the case!!

I mean, your ideas are stupid, facile idiocies. You wouldn't tolerate similar arguments from your 8-year-old nephew but you'll swear by them on Sunday.

Time to grow up. A person who points out just exactly how this stuff is gibberish isn't a "God-hater", or evil or whatever. He just likes a little consistency in social discourse, and doesn't think rationality needs be rationed, or rather chopped at the border of the mental badlands of theology.

Hear hear!! This neo-atheism movement didn't start because Dawkins and Hitches and Harris suddenly started continuing to be polite.

As usual Taraz is the voice of sanity in this thread.

The dude in the video comes across as the worst kind of extremist. He oozes hatred. Everyone knows you catch more flies with honey.
