Don't exactly have a specific discussion in mind. I posted it here because this forum, although far from perfect, does allow discussion more than any other forum, particularly F16. In addition, I know that several atheists post here and am interested in their reactions.Quote:
I'm curious, what are your thoughts on this? Why did you post this? What sort of discussion were you hoping to generate?

My reaction to the editorial is that the author was incredibly lacking in self-awareness. He seems to be as guilty of the close-mindedness and tunnel vision as those with whom he disagrees. In other words, he fits the stereotype that he disparages, although he may be their mirror image.
He also seems to like to use the word "fascist" a lot.
I skimmed the article and felt like basically the author was be moaning the fact that not just unenlightened Evangelicals conservatives voted for Trump, but even some "intelligent" atheists aligned themselves with Trump.Jabin said:
