→Wired saying "atheists tend to be quarrelsome, socially challenged men..."
::::Here is a quote from the article you listed: "Typical atheists are hardly the rabble-rousing evangelists that Dawkins or Harris might like. They are an older, peaceable, quietly frustrated lot, who meet partly out of idealism and partly out of loneliness." This doesn't jive with your representation of all atheists as belligerents.

Either the article uses the terms that you ascribe to it, or it does not. It would be intellectually dishonest to say that Vox Day's, whoever the heck that is, interpretation of the article represents what the article actually says, especially given the extract that Sharon provides, which really runs counter to that interpretation.

::I have not finished reading the article yet, but I did replace some of the material. Within a week, I plan on reading the article in its entirety. In addition, I don't recall using the phrase "all atheists" or using similar terminology. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 16:10, 14 July 2012 (EDT)
