Time for atheists to take a hard look at ourselves

[EvolveOrConvolve]

104. You know what I think?

I think you've fallen into the trap that so many do - you've become so worried about a meaningless intellectual argument that you forget how reality actually works. It's a classic first-world trap - you have things so easy that you have to manufacture something to be outraged about because it makes you feel like a "real" liberal - like you're really doing something.

And while you're arguing about some nonexistent, imaginary "racism", real people are getting kidnapped, raped, abused, tortured, and killed. And you, with your faux outrage, decide, in your wisdom, that some random internet poster's "racism" is the problem, and not the aforementioned kidnappings, assaults, murders, genocide and ethnic cleansing carried out by barbarians against innocent men, women, and children. These people ARE barbarians - the literal definition of barbarians. They're monsters. Deviants. Savages. Inhuman. Depraved.

The real victims here are the Christians, Jews, and Muslims in the areas where ISIS holds sway, but they're not victims because of some alleged "racism" on the internet. They're victims because of the treatment at the hands of the barbarians. So don't tell me that I'm "reveling in depravity" by calling the perpetrators of these vicious acts what they actually are, when every week they show themselves as barbarians through their violent, barbaric actions.
