Rejection of the divine and the supernatural isn't always a solid foundation to build a community on; atheists are a many and varied bunch, and I've met several over the years I disagree entirely with, even actively dislike.

It's always struck me as fairly self-serving and borderline disingenuous, these people who are perfectly happy to say some horrific shit about people who they disapprove of right up until it affects someone they know.

Don't get me wrong, I'm always happy to see people realise the error of their ways, but that doesn't change the fact that they've done and said some really noxious, nasty things, and they're going to have to work extremely fucking hard to make up for that.

If you're a fan of John Oliver, you should totally check out his podcast with Andy Zaltsman; The Bugle.

Extremely funny, well put-together and always very relevant. Both those guys know how to phrase important messages hilariously.

Somehow I doubt they will.

Call me cynical, but trying to make this sort of people up their act in regards to child abuse scandals is like trying to lead a particularly irate donkey across a narrow bridge; you're only going to get it moving in the most slow and unwilling of manners, and you're liable to get kicked in the face for your trouble.

How about everyone takes five, chills the fuck out a bit and we all try sitting back down at the table and talking this shit out?

You know, like how you'd think rational people would behave.

I know just enough about this whole internet thing to be aware that you need to be really fucking careful about the information you put up on it.

And honestly, this whole controversy bollocks is just getting silly now. Nothing's ever going to be achieved if all the atheist movement does is batter heads with one another.

The broadness of atheism can often be of great benefit; it exposes everyone to many different perspectives and views, which I've always thought is extremely good at preventing narrow-mindedness and insular thinking.

Of course, it can also mean we all get really, really pissed off with each other at times as well. That's just how these things go, I suppose.

Knock not the cookie-baking. That shit's theraputic.

As big a fan as I am of rolling out the ire, I see where you're coming from with this. We are supposed to be vaguely in agreement about certain key issues, given that we're all commenting on an atheist blog, so you'd think we'd have the capacity to be vaguely fucking civil.

I actually kind of like David Icke. He's sort of endearing in his bug-nutty batshit way.
