I think you pushed the point one step too far.

No, I described a position that Viking holds that has been popularized by Dawkins and Hitchens the other "new athiests".

It is interesting to read the new second volume of Mark Twain's Autobiography, and his scathing-but-amusing send-ups of religion and magical thinking, and then come back here and read pretty much the exact opposite of his approach.

For Twain lovers who haven't gotten the second volume yet:  get it.  The idiot editor who pretty much ruined the first volume has been.... suppressed... for the second.

No, you are either wrong or lying.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

You aren't of the new Athiest persuasion?  I've seen you quote Dawkins and Dennot.
