I'm agnostic, so I can successfully draw ire from both activist atheist and activist fundie Christian using the same exact sentences :P I have a feeling this guy has the same ability. *Needless to say, he's considered a deserter by many in the Atheist/Skeptic communities but like he points out, he was never even a member. :P His point was, the knee jerk reactiveness of the New Atheist community that makes a narrow range of stereotypical assumptions rather than engaging in rational discourse is why he has no trouble pissing off fellow Atheists. He's a Philosopher, an Atheist, a Biologist. He now co-hosts Rationally Speaking Podcast, +[1]ted powell*- a quick google of his name (you have the same Google as I do and we all do here), and you'd see that. Yes, this was a test to prove/disprove the reasons stated in his link above (which you all also have access to). I believe his point is proven quite nicely in this limited sociological experiment. Thank you one and all. References Visible links 1. https://plus.google.com/105055083646077646793
