There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Whoops, I think I may have mistaken "abortion absolutely should be legal" for "abortion absolutely should be banned". I tend to associate known extreme conservatives with Anti-Choice. My mistake.

Yep, but he's still a guy. He should be allowed to have an abortion, right?

That's why I added the disclaimer in small print. Normally I'd be able to word it well enough to avoid that.

Tisk Tisk Tisk, Godwin's law in action...


Godwin's law though it may be, he's making a correct analogy.

Ascribing motivations and stereotypes to a single group is a dangerous form of prejudice, whether the practitioners were Nazis to the Jews, the KKK to the Coloured, the Crusaders to the Arabs, the French Catholics to the Hugonots or even the Bolsheviks to the the Russian Bourgeois. It inevitably leads to bloodshed and death.

Atheists are people, indeed people with among the most radically diverse viewpoints of any group, largely because atheists aren't truly a group, there is no single motivation for atheism, no one "holy book" or unifying organization like the church. I know as many atheists on the right as the left, as many intelligent, kind and thoughtful ones as utter assholes, it's wrong to assume that because they don't believe in God as you and I do, that there is anything fundamentally wrong with them.

If anything as two Protestant branch Christians we're more alike than any two atheists, and that's coming from a free market anarchist.
