When I hear the term "militant atheist," I can't help visualizing some dudes flying planes into buildings while screaming, "WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW!?"
You're thinking militant religion.

Meh, the Sith aren't as bad as the Jedi make them out to be. History was written by the victors.
You've obviously never heard of Vietnam.
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you first.

welcome, I am a radical militant....right up to the point it affects my pocketbook. Hell, I love to bitch on line and give some people hell, but when it comes down to a hot-dog or my weekly filet...fuck that radical shit.......I only got a few years left, I intend to eat well.
Ain't that the sad truth. For the most part I'm still pretty much a closet atheist. And I'm fine with it. People know me as a "staunch skeptic" in real life, but not an outright atheist. I do the dance because I value relationships and a steady income more than just opening up on everybody how I think religion is fucking bullshit.
