A former 40 year Atheist analyzes Atheism, without resorting to theism, deism, or fantasy. *** If You Don't Value Truth, Then What DO You Value? *** If we say that the sane can be coaxed and persuaded to rationality, and we say that rationality presupposes logic, then what can we say of those who actively reject logic? *** Atheists have an obligation to give reasons in the form of logic and evidence for rejecting Theist theories.

Stupidest Comment Ever?
Obama:
"Let's be clear—this kind of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries,"
“At some point, we, as a country, will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. It doesn’t happen in other places with this kind of frequency. And it is in our power to do something about it.”
The AetheoLeftists are now trying to "spin" this based on the SECOND statement (following what I highlighted above). They claim that the "important part" was that he was only referring to the difference in frequency of occurrence between this country and other places.
Sorry, that does not pass the logical "smell test." Take a look at even the most leftward "news" sources and tell me that the world is not awash in extreme violence.
Noticeably absent in any discussion of the extensive urban violence in America is WHO IS DOING IT?!?
Even the right-wing punditry wrings its collective hands and cries its crocodile tears over the deplorable increase of violent crime (attributed to the police for LESS law enforcement "zeal" in the aftermath of much ballyhooed cases of WHITE police officers shooting "unarmed, peace-loving, college-bound potential future Nobel Peace Prize winners" young BLACK male teenagers in the back while their hands were high above their heads, surrendering without a fight) and the obvious increase in the number of BLACK victims of violent crime in those places where the WHITE police have reduced policing presence.
Missing is a crucial question: WHO (WHICH DEMOGRAPHIC) IS COMMITTING THIS MASSIVE INCREASE IN VIOLENT CRIME?!?!?
(If you actually want a real answer to that rhetorical question, consult the DOJ and FBI crime statistics.)
It would seem logical (if there was anyone who actually cared about logical reasoning):
(1) The WHITE police officers are gunning down hundreds, nay, thousands of innocent BLACK persons, primarily black male teenagers, with reckless abandon without being held accountable.
(2) As a result of being video taped and FINALLY being charged with crimes, WHITE police officers have become hyper-sensitive to being hauled into court for their rampant racism and criminality, and have (at least temporarily) slowed down or stopped gunning down innocent BLACK persons, especially unarmed black male teenagers.
(3) But, as shown by the statistics from every major city in America, the percentage of violent crimes, especially murder, has dramatically risen, virtually simultaneously with the reduced policing by WHITE racist cops.
(4) The number of BLACK victims of violent crimes has increased concurrently with the reduction of WHITE cops killing unarmed BLACK male teenagers.
(5) The expected result of "peace on earth" in the urban ghettos has n (6) It is therefore logical (but EXTREMELY RACIST! RACIST!! RACIST!!!) to ask the logical question: WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DRAMATIC INCREASE IN VIOLENT CRIMES committed against innocent "black lives that matter"?
OOOPS!!! Can't ask that question, because it might just give the lie to the prevailing narrative: racist WHITES (especially cops) killing innocent BLACKS, especially black male teenagers.
It does not appear to be a WHITE and BLACK problem.
Time for another round of KUMBAYA: Can't we all just get along, you racist WHITE devils?
Or a different song: Kill all those evil WHITE devils, and the world will be a better place.
Or maybe it's time to emulate Rachel Dolezal and become trans-racial.
"Look Ma! I've decided that I self-identify as BLACK. That's one small step for me, and one less WHITE person to kill to achieve BLACK Utopia!"

Oh the incredible, inedible egg on his face. . .

Correction to (5) above):
(5) The expected result of "peace on earth" in the urban ghettos has not materialized (so far).
No idea why it got chopped off mid-sentence.
