Spotted in the Pharyngula comments among the invective aimed at Nature over the journal's editorial on scientists cooperating with the John Templeton Foundation (emphasis added):
#25 is a troll.There is no such organization as the
Moderate Concerned Atheist Alliance (MCAA)There are only 3 legitimate atheist groups:
United Atheist Alliance (UAA)
the true atheistsAllied Atheist Alliance (AAA)
a bunch of illogical fraudsUnified Atheist League (UAL)
morons if you ask me
I didn't become an atheist so I could be a member of a club, or another religion.
The letter penned by Matthew Cobb and Jerry Coyne to Nature that triggered this and more is also wrong in claiming:
"In reality, the only contribution that science can make to the ideas of religion is atheism."
Agnosticism, yes. Atheism? That's a stretch.
Actually, agnosticism is an outgrowth of Christian theology, not scientific investigtion.
"I didn't become an atheist so I could be a member of a club, or another religion."
EXACTLY what's been bugging me lately. What's with the grouper mentality lately? It's all very annoying, if you ask me.
