Reminder that new atheism died because they were too pussy and ignorant to shit on Judaism, Islam, or any other extant religion

Explain to me why that book shouldn't be there.

give one modicum of objective evidence that any of the events depicted in it took place.

If you're still an Atheist past your edgy 16 year old phase, I'm sorry to inform you, but you're a midwit.

>>14771848
Are you serious? The whole movement seemed to be motivated by disgust with Islamic fundamentalism.

>>14771867
LOL are YOU serious? Modern Atheism was popularized almost exclusively by ideologues criticizing and attacking Christianity, and only Christianity.

>>14771858
sure but abrahamic religions are pants on head retarded

there's a silver lining you know

>>14771882
I dont think so, most of them (the new athiests) were fueled on attacking Islam as well.

>>14771898
I can't tell if you're just misinformed, or are being an obtuse moron on purpose.

>>14771851
If the proof of Jesus' existence is to be doubted, then so is Socrates'.

Dont bookstores usually have religious sections anyway? Wouldnt it more so be a "haha funny athiest joke" if you just left it in the religion section?

>>14771867
>>14771898
this. Hatred of Islam turned Christopher Hitchens into a neocon.

>>14771906
Have you actually read any of them, or do you stick to apologists?

>>14771851
I don't need to explain myself to anime posters like you.

>>14771908
believing in sokrates doesn't make people murder each other or oppress women for centuries.

For every criticism of Islam by a mainstream Atheist, there are perhaps 50 criticism of Christianity, and 0.5 criticisms of Judaism. If you deny this, you're being a revisionist.

>>14771812
I usually put holocaust books in the fiction section. I couldn’t imagine the horror on boomers faces.

>>14771923

>>14771922
And your saying that Christianity isnt built on revisionism? I think we can come to terms with 50 being a very large exaggerated number. There are more critics on Judasim and Christianity because atleast the christians and jews dont threaten to kill your family and bomb where you live after you criticise them.

>>14771917
Socrates was just some Greek homo. Jesus Christ is God made flesh.

>>14771931
So you concede that Christianity was predominately targeted as the focus of criticism among the New Atheist movement of the early 2000s? Good. Glad we're o the same page now.

>>14771917
Women were being oppressed for a lot longer than Abrahamism has been around and rightfully so.

>>14771941
Yeah but your exaggrating by alot, and I dont think you agree with me on that.

>>14771962
>I dont think you agree with me on that.
Correct, I don't. The modern atheist movement was literally a targeted propaganda campaign started by Jewish academics to destabilize and weaken the middle class. I don't care if you agree or not. That is simply the truth. Other religions were perhaps mentioned in this campaign, but only as an afterthought.

>>14771858
Martin Luther was also a former catholic priest.
He's only speaking from the proverbial cope he put on himself. If a woman is a crazy animal, then my dick is a seasoned whip.

>>14771908
both are doubted but Socrates has more evidence to his existence

>>14771981
I say this with full intent on learning, may I please have an article to read on that? I just dont get why Jew's would particiapate in atheism in the first place.

>>14771882
only because they only speak english and could never read any other bible

>>14772002
most jews (especially in the west) are athiests

>>14772002
Please, don't ask obvious deluded morons to teach you things.

>>14772103
He didn't ask you anything, though?

>>14771851
Bible is a collection of books on topics ranging from mythology, theology, and history. None of these books are "fantasy." It would be just as blasphemous to put the Iliad there.

>>14771917
The word you’re looking for is “domesticated.” Christianity promotes the domestication of women, not the opression of them.

>>14771908
Jesus' existence doesn't make the Bible not fictional. You've got a bit more legwork to do there buddy.

>>14771908

>One character based on a real person

Omg guize it's all tru

>>14772372
I'm not even Christian, but I don't know where nu-atheists get the idea that Christians believe that all the events and characters depicted in the Bible really happened. You have to take the stories in context. Many of them were created as allegories, and I don't know anyone who disputes this. You seem to have in mind the caricature of a Protestant, and they don't exist in any large number in the same way as flat-Earthers. I think the strawman arguments are completely ridiculous, and they only serve to highlight the ignorance that nu-atheists have against the religion they are so diametrically opposed to.

>>14771882
You are deeply misinformed. New atheism was mostly about bashing Islam.

>>14771908
Wow, that might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

>>14772541
I direct you to this post >>14771906

>>14772556
Which new atheist books have you read?

>>14772548
There is more evidence for the existence of Jesus than of Socrates.

>>14772851
lmao no.

>For most of my life, I had taken it for granted that Jesus, although certainly not a god, was nevertheless an historical personage – perhaps a magician skilled in hypnosis. To be sure, I knew that some of the world’s greatest scholars had denied his existence. Nevertheless, I had always more or less supposed that it was improbable that so many stories could have sprung up about someone who had never existed. Even in the case of other deities, such as Zeus, Thor, Isis, and Osiris, I had always taken it for granted that they were merely deified human heroes: men and women who lived in the later stages of prehistory – persons whose reputations got better and better the longer the time elapsed after their deaths. Gods, like fine wines, I supposed, improved with age.

>About a decade ago, however, I began to reexamine the evidence for the historicity of Jesus. I was astounded at what I didn’t find. In this article, I would like to show how shaky the evidence is regarding the alleged existence of a would-be messiah named Jesus. I now feel it is more reasonable to suppose he never existed. It is easier to account for the facts of early Christian history if Jesus were a fiction than if he once were real.

Not prose

>>14772968
Here is a marxists dot org article showing all the evidence that capitalism is totally about to collapse under the weight of its contradictions. Tell me when you are done reading it so that I can send you some a tafsir explaining why everybody except Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab were demonstrably wrong about literally everything.

>>14771848
Are you serious? The new atheists have been accused of islamaphobia and anti-semitism because of their attacks on Islam and Judaism
