The Friendly Hermit

Because they both share a "we're right and everyone else is wrong" sort of mentality/ presentation? Sure, that's obnoxious. As I said in my original post, some of the charges may be fair. (Although compared to the FotF website the FFPF strikes me as having a rather limited legislative and proselytizing agenda.) But I really do think the last couple of paragraphs especially cast the whole column in a problematic if not outright nasty light. None of these tactics are new to the political Religious Right or, truth be told, many more run-of-the-mill brands of Christianity (particularly Christian apologetics). So, scolding a couple of atheists for finally deciding to "fight fire with fire" smacks of misplaced blame or at least a problematic dynamic of placing blame when ignoring that key fact. Especially when paired with an unproblematized apologetics of Christian missionary & charity work. And most especially when paired with the ridiculous contention that atheists are setting a new fire just as the other was burning out.
