I'm not confused. I prefer to use the term "militant atheism". Just as there are theists and militant theists, so there are atheists and militant atheists. You know how the libtards keep saying things like "religion is not the problem, fundamentalism (militant theism) is"? Well, Sam Harris argued irrefutably that theism -followed to its logical conclusion- inevitably leads to militant theism. The fact that not all theists are militant suggests that not everyone is logical or have the courage to follow through their conviction.


What you're implying is that some people are better than others. I'll give that a day or two to sink in, to see if you get the connection between 'militant atheism' and other religions. When you suggest that some people are better than others, you have to ask, relative to what?


If you have the courage to follow through your conviction, of course you are better than others. But then again, when you use the term "better", it really depends on perspective. Better for who? The theist who follows his beliefs to its logical conclusion would probably blow himself up for 72 virgins. If that theist blows himself up within your physical proximity, is that better for you? Is that better for himself even?
