[ExI] atheists de-baptize unbelievers:

[Giulio Prisco]

Agree with Will.

Everyone should be free to waste their time and energy as they please,
provided they don't harm others. Myself, I would join a sport fan club
rather than New Atheist fundamentalists.

Pretentious atheism ruins atheism.  A smart, sensible atheist ignores
baptism, because it has zero meaning outside of its believers.  Kagin seems
like he actually believes that children are wrongfully made to *become
Christian* when that drop of water touches their heads, and that he has to
undo the horror.  Wouldn't it be more productive to just...ignore the whole
thing?

I know smart people love to make belittling jokes, but sometimes too much
masturbating of the ego actually validates the other side.  Every "A for
Atheist" shirt only pounds home the idea of Faith, Symbol, Faith!

I fear for atheism when its harbingers are empathy-less prats...
