The slur du jour aimed at atheists appears to be that of “militant atheism.” While we in the atheist community know full well that there is no such thing as a militant atheist, the Christians who use this phrase remain willfully ignorant or are simpl…

I will first state that Stalin and Pol Pot never intended for the populations of their respective countries to convert to atheism. These two figures were, instead, interested in instituting a new religion in which they were conceived of as the ultimate deities in the new cosmos.

Why would Pol Pot move the inhabitants into the countryside and then announce that it was year 0. He was adopting a dual role. He was the bringer of Armageddon and, then, the messiah who came to rule following the cleansing and rebirth of the Cambodian people.

I cannot consider this to be atheism, because Pol Pot clearly had a complex causing him to interpret himself as divine.

When it comes to ’scientifically proving,’ that atheists are better behaved, I would cast skepticism as to whether this is a scientific question. ‘Better,’ is an evaluative judgment; not one that can be objectively established, because it is entirely normative. It depends upon one’s values, and values are not necessarily universally embraced by all moral agents.

I am simply pointing out that if you value people in society who look to reality and adopt a pragmatic approach to the remedy of problems - both environmental and social - then you would probably not be interested in populating your society with the religious. They look to invisible entities and they claim they are dependent upon fantastic uber-fathers and uber-mothers, who are supposedly omni-present; although, they are never directly observable; so they are everywhere and nowhere all of the time.

Not only are such beliefs interpretable as mental pathology, they tend to make these religious people dogmatic and authoritarian, as if their intellectual reliance upon things we cannot see directly - and things that lack any compelling indirect evidence pointing to their existence - should be respected by people who turn to reality rather than absorption in a childish game of make-believe.

I would invite you to do the following for our enlightenment:

1. Please provide “scientific” evidence that atheists behave better than religious people. Please specify which religious people.

2. Were Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao trying to transform their people into atheists? Did they do so through peaceful, intelligent dialogue?

3. Your opinion: If Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris etc. had “absolute” power, would they still allow freedom of choice in terms of religion?

What more proof do you need that you have no control over your government? It’s a government for by and of the corporations and you’re so many livestock, to be picked off and slaughtered at will, so much reddened flesh for the corptocracy’s elite to live off.

What’s it going to take until a real revolution happens in this country? Are you going to wait until they kick down your door (ripping Mickey is now a CRIMINAL offense) and slam a half million fine down your throat, with a 2 year jail sentence chaser?

The solution is simple. If it’s got a job in Congress or the Senate today, it doesn’t next election cycle. No exceptions. No excuses. They all go. We need a another party- elect ANYONE who’s not a democrat or republican. Just anyone. Recruit someone and run him or her. Good enough, and a hell of a lot better than what we have now.

I am the editor, not the author of the article that you commented upon. However, I feel compelled to answer your question, nonetheless.

He is referring to contractual employees when using the term, casual labor. Of course, these employees are often procured by firms through an intermediary, such as a temporary service.

The workers are often offered no benefits, and the workers enjoy no job security. More and more labor in America is being reduced to this status, where they feel as outsiders and lack the peace of mind that accompanies benefits such as health insurance, pensions, and so forth.

Best,
