Changes

My concern is not so much about whether someone takes one view or another with regards to Elevatorgate. Indeed, even among the members of Freethought Kampala, there are different opinions on various aspects of the matter. My concern is about how the matter has been handled, the poor quality of arguments that have been advanced, the astounding amounts of hypocrisy on display, and above all the intolerant attitude towards viewpoints that don’t tow the radical gender [[feminism|feminist]] line – all this, among people that call themselves skeptics.<ref>[http://freethoughtkampala.wordpress.com/2011/09/15/elevatorgate-part-2-the-failure-of-skepticism/ Elevatorgate – Part 2 – The Failure of Skepticism]</ref>}}

A supporter of the [[Question evolution! campaign]] wrote concerning Elevatorgate  

The Elevatorgate has caused the [[Atheist factions|factious atheist community]] to be even more fractured in a significant way with various factions of atheism criticizing or supporting Richard Dawkins's remarks after the Elevatorgate incident. 

{{cquote|In a letter to fellow evolutionist Richard Dawkins which was subsequently quoted by The Daily Telegraph, Oxford University atheist Dr. Came wrote concerning Dawkins' refusal to debate the Christian apologist Dr. [[William Lane Craig]]: "The absence of a debate with the foremost apologist for Christian theism is a glaring omission on your CV and is of course apt to be interpreted as cowardice on your part."

While atheism has been publicly humbled and in a state of confusion and factionism, Bible believers and believers in biblical creation are energized and biblical Christianity is growing explosively as can be seen in the data and articles below.<ref>[Will future historians see May through August of 2011 as being a major turning point in the Christianity vs. atheism/Darwinism culture war]</ref>}}

Richard Dawkins may have had a chip on his shoulder as well post the William Lane Craig debate challenge and charges of cowardice and his abrasive remarks to Rebecca Watson could have been Dawkins trying to be a "big man on the atheist campus".  Well, if this is the case, Dawkins's remarks didn't work out so well, did they?
