About Me
- Name: Infidel753
- Location: Portland, Oregon, United States
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

I started to write, "God, I love that man."
Wow, what a powerful, honest and heart-felt speech!!
Hitchens is great!
Unfortunately, I have the feeling that Hitchens, Harris, Dawkins etc. have sort of run their course. I'm glad they keep up the crusade, but they don't seem to get the attention they used to get and still deserve.
Nance & RtS: He's a great man and a powerful speaker, and has always been a formidable asset to our side.
Blurber: With Hitchens's cancer and Dawkins having gone back to writing about biology (The God Delusion was the only one of his many books that explicitly addressed religion), they're less active these days, but the "new atheism" they helped launch is a full-fledged movement being carried forward by many people in different spheres in their own way. And the religious right is too busy freaking out over gay marriage to spare much pulpit-yelling time for atheists, so we don't get as much attention from that quarter -- but Myers, Loftus, and others are still carrying on the fight.
