Good Goblinmonger Feb 2014 #1

That's naive. It's helping the republican party grow precisely when it's hemorrhaging. rug Feb 2014 #3

You're fucking kidding, right? Goblinmonger Feb 2014 #7

There are a few conservative atheists out there bluestateguy Feb 2014 #2

There are also neoliberal atheists who tend to be viciously anti-Islam. rug Feb 2014 #4

There are also religious people Goblinmonger Feb 2014 #8

It looks like Silverman is striving to start a new trend. rug Feb 2014 #11

I think he is trying to let atheists know Goblinmonger Feb 2014 #15

Maybe he should go on Stormfront and embrace the closeted supremacist atheists while he's at it. rug Feb 2014 #17

The ACLU protected the Constitutional rights of skinheads Goblinmonger Feb 2014 #18

Well, there's the daily analogy fail. rug Feb 2014 #21

I think if a group is trying to help closeted atheists Goblinmonger Feb 2014 #23

They should and do. What does that have to do with AA supporting CPAC? rug Feb 2014 #26

The Ayn Rand/Paulbot/anarchist crowd.... nt MADem Feb 2014 #51

the pauls are deeply religious and most of the idiots are unaware Rand was an atheist. Warren Stupidity Feb 2014 #59

There are people (clueless, but they exist) who don't find any conflict (yet) in MADem Feb 2014 #60

As an atheist, I like this; as a Democrat, not so much. R&K nt longship Feb 2014 #5

Which trumps? rug Feb 2014 #6

I applaud any effort to curb insanity by injecting reason. cleanhippie Feb 2014 #9

I'm sure you'll find the republican platform oozing with reason. rug Feb 2014 #13

Having this group there is the first bit of reason seen from GOP in a long time. cleanhippie Feb 2014 #55

Really? That's unfortunate. cbayer Feb 2014 #10

Do you really think this will change the demographics? Goblinmonger Feb 2014 #12

Looks like some here find it fortunate. rug Feb 2014 #14

Let's put this a different way: Goblinmonger Feb 2014 #16

I know you prefer to hide behind other oppressed groups but it really doesn't work. rug Feb 2014 #19

So are we pretending that there is only privilege in one thing Goblinmonger Feb 2014 #22

I'm not the one pretending an intellectual conclusion equates to gender orientation. rug Feb 2014 #27

I wouldn't know and don't care to know. cbayer Feb 2014 #20

Do you think closeted atheists Goblinmonger Feb 2014 #24

An opportunity. AtheistCrusader Feb 2014 #25

You assume nonbelief in god(s) is antithetical to conservatism. rug Feb 2014 #29

Another candidate for the 'That's not what I said' game of nuance. AtheistCrusader Feb 2014 #31

Tsk, such sensitivity. What you did say is this: rug Feb 2014 #33

Many reasons. AtheistCrusader Feb 2014 #34

Is Silverman doing this to diminish the reublican party or augment the atheist community? rug Feb 2014 #36

Probably grow the atheist community. AtheistCrusader Feb 2014 #37

The unintended consequence will be the growth of the republican party. rug Feb 2014 #38

I honestly think it's going to shrink it, because AtheistCrusader Feb 2014 #39

It starts March 6. Let's see what happens. rug Feb 2014 #40

Hahaha expect fist fights. AtheistCrusader Feb 2014 #41

That was fast. rug Feb 2014 #42

VINDICATION AtheistCrusader Feb 2014 #47

AA "misinterpreted itself"? cbayer Feb 2014 #48

Probably for them to be seen and not heard, and to be unobtrusive and AtheistCrusader Feb 2014 #50

I'm wondering if the change came once CPAC saw the layout for their booth and the cbayer Feb 2014 #52

Tend to agree. AtheistCrusader Feb 2014 #53

i suspect they would give the same warm welcome to any groups cbayer Feb 2014 #56

Don't conservatives have belief in god as a party plank at this point? LostOne4Ever Feb 2014 #28

Apparently not. rug Feb 2014 #30

ROFL LostOne4Ever Feb 2014 #32

Hahah 2 years old, has 260 members. AtheistCrusader Feb 2014 #35

AND THEY'RE OUT!!!! LostOne4Ever Feb 2014 #43

What do you think of Silverman"s quote? rug Feb 2014 #44

That or he is pandering LostOne4Ever Feb 2014 #45

I'm guessing he's trying to normalize atheism... MellowDem Feb 2014 #46

Are secular conservative better than what to deal with? cbayer Feb 2014 #49

Not at all... MellowDem Feb 2014 #57

I agree with that. cbayer Feb 2014 #58
