The Conservative Atheists [View all] rug Jul 2015 OP

They do exist. I've met them before. bluestateguy Jul 2015 #1

Three of The Four Horsemen match most of that list. rug Jul 2015 #2

That's Penn Gillette (nt) Peregrine Aug 2015 #76

How was your vacation? truebrit71 Jul 2015 #3

I see you still are engrossed in insincere meta. rug Jul 2015 #5

failed. Warren Stupidity Jul 2015 #10

Not my alert. You're on my jury blacklist. rug Jul 2015 #11

that's not the way it works rug. Warren Stupidity Jul 2015 #13

It should. rug Jul 2015 #15

why? So you can bias a jury in favor of your alert? Warren Stupidity Aug 2015 #99

I've seen more twisted alerts from you than anyone on this board. rug Aug 2015 #100

Speaking of dishonesty why are you accusing me of alerting on your post after I said I didn't? beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #119

In your imagination I am quite the monster. Warren Stupidity Aug 2015 #120

I don't believe in monsters. rug Aug 2015 #125

That's now how jury blacklists work. Blacklist affects who sits on a jury for an alert of YOUR post Heddi Jul 2015 #14

Warren was far more concise. rug Jul 2015 #17

I wanted to explain it nicely Heddi Jul 2015 #21

That explains the video. rug Jul 2015 #22

Agreed. Then we could see some of your alerts while you were on vacation. truebrit71 Jul 2015 #23

Oh, were you thinking of me? rug Jul 2015 #25

Links to what? Your vacation alerts? truebrit71 Jul 2015 #28

Since I'm on an "Educate the Masses" kick tonight Heddi Jul 2015 #29

Now explain the difference between ToS alerts and CS alerts. rug Jul 2015 #32

TOS alerts aren't anonymous. Other alerts are Heddi Jul 2015 #34

Oh, you weren't thinking of me? rug Jul 2015 #31

Nope. truebrit71 Jul 2015 #40

Oh, poor alerter. Tried so hard. Heddi Jul 2015 #18

You weren't really absent though. You alerted on a post while you were gone Heddi Jul 2015 #26

Yes it was an SoP alert to the kosts of a group. rug Jul 2015 #44

So it kind of refutes your memories of a refreshing absence if you were alerting.... Heddi Jul 2015 #52

And you learned about conservative atheists. rug Aug 2015 #104

Well we already know who's conservative here. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #118

Do you support Sam Harris? rug Aug 2015 #121

I don't support Sam. Why do you support a misogynistic homophobic organization? beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #122

I don't. rug Aug 2015 #124

You don't support the RCC? beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #126

I don't support your imaginary bogeymen. rug Aug 2015 #128

Your church's opposition to women's and lgbt people's human rights created the reality. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #130

Actually, I prefer to deal in facts over internet polemics. rug Aug 2015 #131

So why do you support an organization that treats women and lgbt people like second class citizens? beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #132

Insert one fact into that question and you'll have an answer, rug Aug 2015 #133

I have no idea why anyone would support the RCC and its policies. Frankly it boggles the mind. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #134

Do you not support the RCC? AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #140

I am a Catholic. rug Aug 2015 #141

The items I listed are not a stereotype. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #143

What items? You responded to my reply to someone else. rug Aug 2015 #144

Post removed Post removed Aug 2015 #145

That's not a list. rug Aug 2015 #146

Try addressing BMUS's point without dismissing it as a stereotype. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #147

Try typing anything without wrapping it in personal bullshit. rug Aug 2015 #148

Nothing personal about it. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #149

I take it that when you typed "fuck you", you had in mind some abstract entity. rug Aug 2015 #150

Amazing how you fluidly shift between his opinion of you and his opinion of your church... truebrit71 Aug 2015 #151

Amazing how you only see what you want to see. rug Aug 2015 #152

It's not a stereotype to point out the inherent misogyny in the catholic church. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #162

You're right. The more accurate word than stereotype is bigotry. rug Aug 2015 #165

It's not religious bigotry to criticize a bigoted religious organization like the RCC. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #166

No it isn't. Writing bigotry is. rug Aug 2015 #171

It's not religious bigotry to criticize a bigoted religious organization like the RCC. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #174

Do you think it is "inherently" bigoted? rug Aug 2015 #176

Of course it is. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #178

Then you're writing bigoted statements, of course. rug Aug 2015 #180

It's not bigotry to criticize a bigoted religious organization like the RCC. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #183

It's bigotry to say it's inherently misogynist and homophobic. rug Aug 2015 #184

Bias against the church is bigotry? And their persecution of women is what? beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #186

Do you think the KKK is inherently bigoted? Lordquinton Aug 2015 #189

Yes. That's its entitre premise. Do you think the RCC is the same as the KKK? rug Aug 2015 #196

Both believe some humans are inferior to others. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #198

And there it is. Your fundamental ignorance of that which you love to attack. rug Aug 2015 #199

Their efforts to restrict my human rights doesn't make them humanitarians. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #202

Amazing. You are less concerned about the people your church harms Lordquinton Aug 2015 #154

I am not at all concerned about people in here who exalt meta over discssion, rug Aug 2015 #155

You are also not at all concerned about your church's victims Lordquinton Aug 2015 #156

Says who? You? rug Aug 2015 #157

Your own words betray you Lordquinton Aug 2015 #158

Post them. Let's see exactly what kind of crap you're peddling. rug Aug 2015 #159

Just read up thread Lordquinton Aug 2015 #160

Already read. Now back up the bullshit you posted. rug Aug 2015 #161

When confronted with your church's wrong doings, you ignore it Lordquinton Aug 2015 #188

Says me. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #163

Let's be very precise here scottie. Are you calling me a bigot? rug Aug 2015 #164

Why would you think people are calling you a bigot? beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #167

The question is why you are suggesting it. rug Aug 2015 #168

Why are you lying about my post? beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #169

163. I'm not lying. rug Aug 2015 #170

Then post proof of your claim that I suggested you're a bigot. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #172

Why don't you just answer the question instead of evading? rug Aug 2015 #173

Post proof of your claim that I suggested you're a bigot. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #175

163. Now answer the question. rug Aug 2015 #177

Point it out, post proof that I suggested you're a bigot. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #179

That's number 4. rug Aug 2015 #181

You're good with numbers but not with proving your claims. Spell it out in English. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #182

That's evasion number five. rug Aug 2015 #185

C'mon, pretend you're a lawyer and you need to make your case in court. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #187

If this were a courtroom, and not an anonymos forum, you'd wither. rug Aug 2015 #192

Really? I'd "wither"? I'm no more intimidated by bullies in real life than I am on DU, rug. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #195

Wither, as in melt, fold, collapse. rug Aug 2015 #197

You first. You never proved I suggested you were a bigot. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #200

"You first." I left grammar school a long time ago. rug Aug 2015 #201

So you can't prove your claim. Glad we cleared that up. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #203

Are you pro choice? Lordquinton Aug 2015 #191

Yes and yes. rug Aug 2015 #193

You're calling everyone who disagrees with you a bigot here Lordquinton Aug 2015 #190

You really don't grasp the irony of that, do you? rug Aug 2015 #194

Like your op isn't meta. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #74

The OP isn't meta. stone space Aug 2015 #77

Did you pop in skepticscott Aug 2015 #78

I'm an atheist. I don't believe in Gods of Metal. They are False Gods. stone space Aug 2015 #79

Were you using a God of metal skepticscott Aug 2015 #80

Your God is a False God. stone space Aug 2015 #81

Which religion are you talking about? skepticscott Aug 2015 #82

I am not a part of your Death Cult. This is a lie. stone space Aug 2015 #83

It's a lie to say skepticscott Aug 2015 #84

Did you just pop a circuit breaker or something? AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #87

It seems like his weapon skepticscott Aug 2015 #94

THIS IS A VICIOUS LIE! stone space Aug 2015 #95

Dude, chill out...you know I have no religion skepticscott Aug 2015 #96

Again, please stop lying about me. stone space Aug 2015 #97

I deeply resent your accusation of "lying" skepticscott Aug 2015 #98

Actually it wouldn't. rug Aug 2015 #107

Post removed Post removed Aug 2015 #113

scottie doesn't consider you the right kind od atheist. rug Aug 2015 #108

Oh I read it. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #85

Then you know that it is not meta. stone space Aug 2015 #86

Got any waterfront property on the moon for sale? AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #88

I don't understand your question. stone space Aug 2015 #89

That's why you don't think the op is meta. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #90

Because I've never been to the moon? stone space Aug 2015 #91

Yes. Yes that is exactly it. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #92

What is meta about American Atheists, Inc. reaching out to CPAC? rug Aug 2015 #103

You're cute. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #112

Actually, I'm not. Neither are atheist organizations at CPAC. rug Aug 2015 #114

Neither are conservative catholic groups attacking LGBT groups at CPAC AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #115

No, they're not. rug Aug 2015 #123

Well, who thought it was a good idea to fire the fist shot? AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #135

If you're hearing "shots" where there aren't any, it's time to get off the range. rug Aug 2015 #138

Uh huh. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #139

Just like the union members who vote Republican, Curmudgeoness Jul 2015 #4

No. Union members have a material basis to vote against republicans. rug Jul 2015 #6

Politics are irrelevant to that position? tkmorris Jul 2015 #7

Correct. What does atheism per se say about politics? Nothing. rug Jul 2015 #8

Politics and politicians have a lot to say skepticscott Jul 2015 #63

Yeah, but your statement is ass backwards to what I wrote. rug Jul 2015 #64

What does atheism per se say about politics? Nothing. AlbertCat Jul 2015 #72

This "drivel" illustrates the point. rug Aug 2015 #101

This "drivel" illustrates the point. AlbertCat Aug 2015 #105

Thank you for repeating it. rug Aug 2015 #106

I'm glad you agree that atheism does not represent all that is good and progressive in the world. AlbertCat Aug 2015 #110

Not exactly. It certainly has a thing to say about the Christian dominionism of the dominant AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #75

It says not a thing about that. rug Aug 2015 #102

I don't know how you can really think that. Curmudgeoness Aug 2015 #136

I don't know how you can misunderstand the First Amendment like that. rug Aug 2015 #137

He's citing the Brookings Institution study that claims atheists and muslims aren't trustworthy? beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #9

Do you not believe in the existence of conservative atheists? rug Jul 2015 #12

I believe that the religious right is a bigger threat to women, lgbt people and other minorities beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #16

I don't believe in athesist bogeymen. Do you believe that? rug Jul 2015 #19

Sure, it's the FOUR HORSEMEN!!1! who are trying to force me to give birth, not the RCC. beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #27

I wasn't aware anyone was trying to force you to give birth. rug Jul 2015 #30

Really? So I'm just imagining the repeated attempts to ban abortions and birth control? beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #33

Since you're slipping rapidnly into jargon and talking points, I'll throw you a rope. rug Jul 2015 #36

Yes, the RCC and those who support its misogynistic policies are part of the religious right. beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #39

That statement indicates a fundamental ignorance of American politics and American religion. rug Jul 2015 #42

Why do you support a fundamentally misogynistic, homophobic institution? beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #43

Repeating it will not bring it to life. rug Jul 2015 #47

If reproductive rights aren't all about BMUS (a woman), then who are they about EvolveOrConvolve Jul 2015 #46

You added the parentheses. rug Jul 2015 #48

And what I'm saying is the the parentheses are necessary EvolveOrConvolve Jul 2015 #50

So you're defending a misogynistic organization from a woman who feels threatened by them? beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #51

Sorry about your alert. bmus. rug Aug 2015 #111

Aw. Someone's still upset about being caught lurking and alerting in a protected group. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #117

No one gets "caught" in a SoP alert. It is sent directly to the hosts. rug Aug 2015 #127

who in thier right mind woud alert this post? Ellipsis Jul 2015 #62

The answer is contained in the question. rug Jul 2015 #65

Thanks for posting it. rug Aug 2015 #109

Not me, I prefer to know who my allies are. beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #67

Not sure why this would be surprising, there are even pro-life Atheists... Humanist_Activist Jul 2015 #20

I'm not surprised at all. rug Jul 2015 #24

The issue is that being an atheist conservative seems like a misnomer in the United States... Humanist_Activist Jul 2015 #35

That's true. There's a prominent British Tory who is qite open about his atheism. rug Jul 2015 #37

Granted things are skewed, the Tories are, in a lot of ways, to the left of the Democrats... Humanist_Activist Jul 2015 #41

Hypothetical... NeoGreen Jul 2015 #38

Perhaps the offense is at you rather than the content EvolveOrConvolve Jul 2015 #49

Oh, please. rug Jul 2015 #53

Sure, post a meme about offense EvolveOrConvolve Jul 2015 #55

I'll go find one of the oines in A/A. rug Jul 2015 #56

You betcha, champ EvolveOrConvolve Jul 2015 #58

Here you go. barely a month old. rug Jul 2015 #60

Yeah, that's what people are offended at. Goblinmonger Aug 2015 #116

isn't this just more overt Ayn Rand-ianism? n/t zazen Jul 2015 #45

there's always been Randroids and "please invade my homeland" "ex-Muslims" MisterP Jul 2015 #54

Oh, I forgot to welcome you back Heddi Jul 2015 #57

Sorry to rin your party. rug Jul 2015 #59

I really want a gin and tonic but I'm out of limes. beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #68

Is Lent over already, then? Seems to get shorter every year. (nt) mr blur Aug 2015 #93

Huh AlbertCat Jul 2015 #71

Conservative atheists are much like liberal Catholics Lordquinton Jul 2015 #73

Conservative atheists have more in common with political conservatives than with liberal Catholics. rug Aug 2015 #129

Ok, completely unrelated to what I said Lordquinton Aug 2015 #142

They exist. 26% even of nonreligious. It's just that believers are worse by at least 50% whatthehey Aug 2015 #153

One of my favorite fantasies... Binkie The Clown Aug 2015 #204
