Why are Atheists Angry? Terry Pratchet has the Answer.

Once again Jim West is on about angry atheists, but the we now know why atheists are often upset.
It was all very well going on about pure logic and how the universe was ruled by logic and the harmony of numbers, but the plain fact of the matter was that the disc was manifestly traversing space on the back of a giant turtle and the gods had a habit of going round to atheists’ houses and smashing their windows”

Have you seen Massimo Pigliucci’s statement of why atheists shouldn’t be angry? Utter nonsesne. A fabulous evolutionary biologist he was. An abject failure of a philosophyr he has become. Anger is not a phase for atheists, it is a state of being with regard to religion so long as it excuses the inexcusable, is a legitimizer of contemptable behavior.
Hope to see you in Calgary soon!
