Illogic of Orwell

Post Reply New Topic

Excuse me, but we know that all truly Strident Atheists eat babies, which are a form of meat.

While I`m sure a THEIST like you has all the time in the world, a serious strident atheist such as myself spends far too much time advancing the causes of anti-theism to install Linux.

This is true, but a background in the natural sciences and formal mathematics implies a certain level of rationality. Even if I did not inherently possess Vulcan-like rationality, the coursework and research I have been involved in would have beaten it into me by now. You, on the other hand, are pursuing a social sciences degree, where far less of a premium is placed on rigorous logical thought. Further still, you have only just begun your university education, while I have nearly completed mine. Can we trust an inexperienced, unvetted, and unprepared candidate to lead us? Surely not!

Oh please. Linux Mint should be easy enough for any bipedal ape to install. And at the absolute least, upgrade to Windows 7. It comes with 30% less fail.

Orwell is sometimes irrational, but not nearly enough to win the strident atheist contest.

In any case, I actually have my degree already.

So, you're saying that you plan on winning?

But it's in economics, and economics is not a science.

Your point? Are you trying to say that anybody who does not currently have a degree in science is not worthy of being a strident atheist? Are you saying that a figure like Christopher Hitchens cannot be strident or atheist? Are you saying that all of the atheist philosophers are just not really atheist? I mean, Orwell, if you are going to say that all of these people, with or without degrees, cannot be atheists unless they have a BS in science, then I really think that you are wrong for the movement. Atheism isn't just something for the elite, but rather the recognition that there is no God, is something that everybody in every field of study, or even those who cannot afford college, or who even lack the competency for college have every ability to recognize.

Orwell, your elitism undermines something basic, and that is the fact that the non-existence of sexually controlling and emotionally abusive Gods is a basic truth for everybody in society, not something for a few physicists and biologists to accept.

Even among a movement intended for the masses, we do not put the hoi polloi in charge, but rather we desire the elites to stand up and take responsibility as leaders. Elitism in who would make an appropriate leader does not equate to elitism in who can be a part of the movement, and the failure to make such a distinction indicates a pervasive lack of logical thought. Do we need someone so irrational and logically challenged to represent us? I think not, my friends.

And yet, elitism going across every element of a person's attitude shows that they are out of touch with the people.

And yet, elitism that stands against the intellectual giants who have most stridently attacked these false ideas, and who have been successful leaders is brain dead. I mean, by Orwell's standards, even if Christopher Hitchens came up again to seek to be a leader for atheism, he ought to be rejected. Does this *really* make sense?

Finally, given that there are many significant atheists who do lack degrees, who do have degrees outside of science, and so on and so forth, my point isn't just membership, but rather leadership. Orwell's elitism stands against his recognition of the value of the atheists in the movement, and of people who are more literary, or who do not have college degrees for life-issues or financial hardship. Orwell runs a campaign on contempt for his voters.

As a completely neutral Atheist party, I was contracted by the Strident Atheist Oversight Committee to do background checks on all of the candidates.
I regret to announce, my dedicated research has led to some sobering discoveries, friends

Inquiry Committee:"Well, Mr Orwell, we need to rectify this issue, immediately: Are you in fact a Scientologist agent provocateur?"

Orwell: "Yes. Yes, I am"

Master_Pedant: "Do you have it, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha: "Yes, of course, master! hisss! !"

Master_Pedant: Excellent. With the Necronomicon finally under my control, I can finally succeed in reviving long dead threads that will piss off my opponents. You and your Theist friends have done me a great favor today. I will not forget, when your new organization begins its assault on the Strident Atheist compound; and you have my assurances, I will have undermined the security. Anything to get out of this cold and boring hellhole of a place that is Winnipeg

It seems there is in fact a Theist-Scientologist conspiracy at play to undermine the leadership of the Strident Atheists. This leaves but one candidate we who can Know and Trust in their Uncompromising Stridency will ensure this corruption is stopped at the source

This has been a presentation of the completely neutral, utterly impartial and partially un-bribed Strident Atheist Oversight Committee

I could never vote for someone who believes in Cthulhu! Edit him out of the photo's, MP is an enemy of the Party!

Wow, I did not know that M_P was selling out the Strident Atheists to the Theists. Thank you completely neutral, utterly impartial, and partially un-bribed Strident Atheist Oversight Committee!

My thoughts exactly. He believes in the supernatural! Further evidence (underlined):

Master_Pedant: "Ah Jesus Christ, I asked for no cheese for f***s sake!"

I will trust the result of the vote in selecting someone irrational.
