Hi. I'm Alistair. I'm a second year student at the University of Auckland. I love science, ancient history and Doctor Who. And I'm a passionate atheist.

This is an ill-informed strawman argument. Most feminists do not think that hitting men is acceptable. Hitting people is not ok. It is not ok for men to hit women or for women to hit men. Assault is a bad thing. Feminists complain about men abusing women a lot because it is an extremely serious problem. More men abuse women than vice versa and when men abuse women they tend to cause much more serious injuries. Therefore men abusing women is a far bigger societal problem and people talk about it more. This does not make women abusing men acceptable. It is just relatively unimportant.

"Faith is the surrender of the mind; it’s the surrender of reason, it’s the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. It’s our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated."

I mean Jews don’t go around saying, “Hey that cross… It offends us tear it down! We don’t care if it is a memorial. We’ll sue this poor broke town until we get them to take it down”

We say (or at least I do), “Oh it’s a memorial for our fallen soldiers.” *takes off hat and stands in silence with head bowed down for a few moments*

I’ll honor all memorials, I don’t care about the religious symbol. God knows who I am really praying to.

If you need to remove all religious symbols to make you feel good, then you have some major insecurities militant atheists… What’s next going to attack Israel for having the star of david in it’s flag. Or that Telephone poles look like giant crucifixes?

I understand Atheist’s have extremes. There are Atheists like Penn Jillete, whom I like. That aren’t militant atheists. But why do they want to shove their ideologies down our throats, when they complain that is what Christians do. Hypocrisy here?

What atheists complain about war memorials? Strawman methinks.
