Opinions?

Its funny how much I hear internet atheists say; opinions are like penises, everyones got one, but we would all appreciate it if you would stop shoving it in our faces. The irony is how many atheists abuse the internet in sharing their opinions, I can understand having your own blogs, websites and forums, but atheist will often comment on Christian videos that have nothing to do with apologetics and mock Christian beliefs. And yes many if not most of said atheists would agree that Christians should stfu about their religious beliefs. This is just one of the major dialectical tensions in the New Atheist movement, they seem to want people to be more cautious about voicing their opinions, but at the same time they call for atheists to ridicule religious beliefs and be more and more outspoken. I’m not sure how these two desires can be reconciled without completely discrediting the N.A. movement. But then again, to a large extent the movement already has been discredited.

  1. Ya, even Richard Dawkins has been called a "reptile" but another atheist scientist.
