I’m at least as atheist as the rest of you godless, hellbound lot, but can you please pick better representatives than Gervais and Dawkins.
I am not interested in what transphobes have to say about atheism or laundry detergent or Warhammer or anything else. I do not want to see their smug big faces and read their trite little quotes.
There are better examples, particularly funny, humanist writers: Pratchett, Vonnegut, Le Guin. I’m sorry they happen to be dead.
The thing that Gervais and Dawkins have in common more than anything else is sneering at people. Asserting the stupidity of others and punching down.
The thing that Vonnegut, Pratchett and Le Guin have in common is compassion and empathy, resulting in anger about injustice and cruelty.
@Nickiquote I didn't know Dawkins was a transphobe or that he bullied people frequently
Sometimes I think there is no human individual that could be a moral reference as a whole
There's always Mister Rogers. Closest we'll ever see to an actual second coming.
