It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Militant atheism is when you prefer the religion of your birth nation.

insufferable dipshit is too much of a coward to be open about his white supremacy. i wish him a very hamas-red-triangle

Richard Dawkins confirmed to be on the same intellectual level as your small town, chud uncle that talks about how he saw 'Hamas sympathizers' hangliding near his property in Missouri

what's that? the guy that nigh invented modern anti-islam reactionary atheism is now deciding to be all thomas jefferson about the christofascism? crazy.

Is that April's fools post? Because it's true regardless, he's not an atheist but agnostic that just search for his brand of opium, it was clearly visible even in the "God Delusion".

[–] [email protected] 48 points 7 months ago

The clip was uploaded Yesterday, and boy howdy does he say '"I'm a white supremacist" and "I'm a fascist" in it like 8 times in as many different ways.

For one he embraces white European identity as "superior" to anything else. Then he rejects the old guard of that identity "I would be happy if ever cathedral and parish hall was gone tomorrow". Then spends the rest of it trying to weasel word a justification of "White Christianity" as a progressive force with "women and homosexuals" just straight up ignoring the fact that this is absolutely not true and in fact the opposite of what they believe.

His double standard is pretty clear when he even acknowledges that Christianity and the Bible are not inherently good on the subject of women's rights and gay rights, but "specific Christians are better". Then immediately turns around and draws conclusions and Islam and all Muslims because he think the Quran is somehow worse.

If I remember correctly, this isn't the first time Dawkins has said this

[–] [email protected] 29 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he said this before. I also think Hitchens said the same thing too

Is that April's fools post?

Ah shit I'm not sure but if I got punked then I knew it all along and was just testing you guys.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 7 months ago

I mean Dawkins is shown in liberal media as paragon of atheism (together with Hitchens), so i would assume lib media would make an april's fools joke about him being christian. On the other hand, Norton is absolutely correct about him in his comment, so it might just be true because as i said Dawkins is not an atheist but agnostic and as a lib is fully expected to abandon his faux values to stand on his real ones that is white supremacy.

(a)gnosticism and (a)theism are separate axes, there are virtually zero atheists who claim certainty of knowledge. You've misunderstood something along the way here.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

What do you even mean, my point is that Dawkins is taken by libs as paragon of atheism but he's not even an atheist, his book reeks of spiritual search and neophyte zeal typical of agnostics in the process of finding his new opium (and that Norton is 100% correct here)

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago (2 children)

no part of being atheist or theist requires thinking you have knowledge. If you're using the god delusion to say dawkins doesn't count as an atheist, you're saying there are no atheists at all because none of us have the hubris to claim we know for sure.

there are gnostic and agnostic theists, there are agnostic atheists, and out of all the people who have ever lived you could probably fit the gnostic atheists on a single bus.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Ah you're going into the extremely specific definition route, fair enough.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

I think, in the context of arguing a point along the lines of "This person is actually Y, not X!", it makes a fair amount of sense to nitpick about definitions, especially if your claim lies in assuming that Y and X are mutually exclusive.

Imagining a Gnostic Atheist that denies the existence of god but admits the Demiurge does exist.

The islamophobia hiding behind the veil of "rational reddit atheism" was always there. The selfcongratulatory euphoria posting should have been a red flag to anyone decent.

"If I had to choose between Islam and being a cracker, I'd choose being a cracker every single time."

Self-proclaimed 'cracker', @RichardDawkins , tells @RachelSJohnson he's 'extremely horrified' to hear that dark skinned people exist.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Can he culturally come out as dead? That would be cool.

I'm sick of how these "atheist" types are only capable of hating one god. I thought y'all were mad at all gods. I thought thats why you decided to be atheist instead of anti Christian or anti whatever.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 7 months ago

Exactly smh. Keep it consistent. All religion is idealist with no basis in material reality, full stop. The fact that they hard focus on Islam just shows their racism.

I'm atheist but culturally Christian, classically liberal

[–] [email protected] 37 points 7 months ago

Get crackers out of atheism, they were the ones spreading that Christian shit in the first place, fuck outta here

[–] [email protected] 37 points 7 months ago

Richard Dawkins has been saying that he's a cultural Christian, or implying it, for decades now. I remember my highschool English teacher making fun of Dawkins for doing so.

New atheists are always trying to get ego gratification as they troll and are obnoxious. In the coming days to top him - I wonder what Sam Harris will do. I can't even imagine.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I was raised Christian, and if I had to choose between Christianity and Islam, I'd probably choose Islam at least 3 or 4 times out of 10.

We forget that classical scholarship, along with universities, plus most of modern medicine and technology and mathematics, emerged from the Muslim world. And despite the prevenient emphasis on submission, Muslims managed to not be one of the religions with a silly convoluted hierarchy, and also managed to be mostly cohesive and relatively non-parochial in their sects.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago (6 children)

good luck purging the reactionary element from either, but yeah, God, Syria and Bashar! is better than every christian song.

HIS imperial core

This mutherfucker was born in Nairobi, he was born as an imperialist.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 7 months ago (5 children)

He also outed himself as a massive transphobe a while ago. I guess that fits in with the whole "culturally Christian" shit.

The fuck he is!

I'm calling on our Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Samaritan, Mandeaean, and other Abrahamic comrades to collectively enact whatever religious injunction you have that allows you to Minecraft this guy.

The Apostle Paul: if Christ was not raised, this is meaningless and we are to be pitied among all of humanity

Richard Dawkins: I will use the affect of a thing I hate, whose followers I despise and believe to be imbeciles, and strip it of all meaning entirely, a sign with no signifier, to be racist
