Since moderates and normal happy believers aren't that upset at the fundies or just don't want to take up that counter argument side, thats where we have taken up that job for you  |
I keep seeing this arguement come up that athiests are fine wirth moderates but want to bring the debate to the extremists.
But you aren't going to get anywhere with extremists so all that ends up happening is you having the same discussion over and over again with moderates. Anyone who is convinced there is no God by dawkins et all was a likely a moderate anyways so the fight doesn't work. Dawkins also ends up pissing off some moderates which makes them defensive and probably pushes them down the scale
