I read up on this, because I'm kind of sympathetic? But then I found this statement: I do not think it is in our interests any longer to cooperate in silence with irrational people, when it is irrationality that is the fundamental root cause of all human evil.
Um. No. Just no. People are irrational. It is not evil to be irrational; it is human. And sometimes evil is very, very rational. This strikes me as fundamentally stupid and illogical. It's an entire movement being predicated on the "No True Scotsman" logical fallacy.
I will remain a small-a atheist and small-s skeptic.
