Phil Plait - Don't be a dick

I think this topic is one of the best out there for revealing the true motivation behind the evolutionists rants.You see, evolutionists constantly claim they are simply seeking the truth, using science, and judging the evidence as they see it. They argue that they don't have a worldview, they simply have a conviction to curiosity, and truth. And yet what is this discussion here actually saying?Well, it saying that what evolutionists actually want to do is convince others that their world view is right. They have decided that they need to come up with the best strategies to get others to believe that their view of the world is right, and " we need to catch as many of the stragglers who may be watching" as we can."But why, why would they be trying so hard to "convince" the fence-sitters. The obvious answer to this is that it is not simply about them seeking the truth, theirs is a religion-and guys like Dawkins and Myers are their preachers, and they are the Mormon-like missionaries, sent out to enlist more converts.That's fine, I get it that this is your religion. Just please don't think you are fooling anyone who is paying attention at all, that yours is simply a truth mission. That is pure bullshit and chicanery. Why would people on a truth mission feel it is so necessary to convince others. if others had a different take on what they believe, so what? You just want to altruistically benefit them?No, yours is a religion, the religion of atheism, plain and simple. Thus the need to convince others, the need to develop a strategy to convince the unconvinced, the need to choose your best weapons, the need to be an "evolutionist" site instead of an information site. This thread points out the truth, like a spotlight, for anyone listening.

Yes, I understand, you want the world to have YOUR worldview.That is just what I said. It is not a scientific endeavor into truth.

No, people who don't play golf don't sit around and come up with the best schemes they can think of to convince others not to play golf. People who don't collect stamps don't try to subvert the world of philately, they don't attempt to censor Wikipedia entrances about stamp collecting, and hide stamp collecting books in Barnes & Noble so people can't find them. They don't go around creating blogs designed to harass stamp collectors, and they don't petition to have stamp collectors fired from their job, and they don't write thousands of books attempting to denounce stamp collectors. No there is in fact no comparison at all to the tactics used by atheists to control, stifle and censor the discussions of evolution, to the lack of tactics and scheming used by people who don't collect stamps.

So, let me just be clear here. When Taq wrote that his religion of atheism was similar to that of being a non-golfer, or a non-stamp collector, you feel he was basically lying then, right?Because actually, as you are expressing, atheists think religion is bad for society, and thus that is why they use all of their efforts to censor, denounce, stifle, badger, and otherwise try to control the discussion of evolution.Just so we are clear on your motives, as if we weren't already.
