Any Matt Dillahunty fans here?

@Grateful4you NO YOU haven't heard of ALEX O'Connor

@bookerdana The delivery doc took one long look and slapped the MOTHER. "Mrs.O'Conner, how COULD you?"

@Grateful4you see link

@Dacrowman Sounds a bit like belittling someone. A put down if you will.

@Grateful4you no just general talk in uk

@Dacrowman Oh. Hmm.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Not familiar with the term "New atheist" can you or will you briefly clarify? Thanks.

@Grateful4you Basically the 2014-2016 "debate me bro" types that plagued Youtube at the time. Most of their arguments are also based on the assumption that all theists operate from the same beliefs as American evangelical Christians and that all you have to do is swap Jesus for Krishna and make the same arguments regardless of whether it makes sense.

No surprise most of them moved on to the alt right "intellectual darkweb."

@bijouxbroussard I will have to check out Sikivu haven't seen him yet. Like I mentioned, I wasn't brought up to use the "F" word and Matt uses it a lot and while pretty much socially acceptable these days still makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable. Odd isn't it?

@Grateful4you No, I understand that. I’ve read about Dillahunty’s beliefs, but I’ve not heard him speak. Sikavu is an African-American feminist and atheist. She works with black atheists and agnostics because in our culture being a non-believer carries a significant amount of stigma, more even than in the mainstream culture.

@bijouxbroussard Yes, I can understand that. In the 50's and early 60's the church (Especially the southern states) represented a more or less sanctuary for blacks both socially and spiritually. There were precious few white people who dared march through Birmingham other than Joan Baez. I will have to check her out, yes, the stigma is indeed much greater for blacks than whites and (sadly) this is a fact some black evangelicals take advantage of. So much for integrity I guess.
