I read this the other day and I believe this was also highlighted in a NYTimes Article this past Sunday.
Personally, I don't care.
If you impose your thoughts or beliefs onto another person unreasonably, it doesn't matter which side of the fence, field, railroad tracks, mountains, stream, city, nation, world, you suck. Period.
I don't care what New Label you call it. His shit smells just as bad as anyone else who's doing the same kind of process.
Quote:
I return from Oxford enthusiastic for argument. I immediately begin trying out Dawkins' appeal in polite company. At dinner parties or over drinks, I ask people to declare themselves. "Who here is an atheist?" I ask.
Usually, the first response is silence, accompanied by glances all around in the hope that somebody else will speak first. Then, after a moment, somebody does, almost always a man, almost always with a defiant smile and a tone of enthusiasm. He says happily, "I am!"
But it is the next comment that is telling. Somebody turns to him and says: "You would be."
"Why?"
"Because you enjoy pissing people off."
"Well, that's true."

Hmmm... for some reason, I read this and we'd call it trollish behavior on the boards.
