Maryam Namazie corrects PZ Myers, regarding her atheist category: I am an atheist not because the atheist movement cares about rights (it doesn’t) or has been overly supportive (which it hasn’t) but because I despise religion and Islam.

@ SenorBeagle - Yeah, it does seem to be all about them , insults real and perceived, disrespect, payback etc. IOW, not the issues I'm used to associating with social justice or social equality. @ Badger3K - There aren't many atheists in my immediate environment, but the few whom I know are pretty d...

The topic of a recent FTB conversation, recorded for all posterity in video format and transcript, was "social justice." A selection of quotes below, because their definition of social justice is not the same as mine, and I is confused. Russell Glasser: But, having said that, the kinds of atheists w...
