The pledge of allegiance was a marketing ploy to sell flags to schools. I'm not making it up.

I'd believe it, the American right needs to step back on this issue a bit and ask themselves, do you think having children blindly recite the pledge of allegiance before they even know what words like allegiance mean is a good idea? I'm not going to freak out about it but it's clearly a meaningless show of submission to authority and little more. It's a prayer to the flag frankly, and it's funny when people don't realize that.

This is the same degenerate who performed sexual acts on a banana and poured hot oil on his penis…

'Cause a rainbow flag is just like "hey, this is about acceptance". An American flag is "hey, this is about blind obedience and devotion to this!"

He's got it reversed. The only people blindly obedient or devoted to the US government, other than the government itself, are maybe... maybe the military? But they're still technically the government. But even the most devoted stars-and-stripes loving soldier will tell you they'd lay their lives down for your right to criticize the country and government. And that for damn sure isn't something you'd ever see from the Rainbow Brigade. If you want to talk about blind obedience and devotion, nothing holds a candle to the Marxist groups represented by that rainbow flag.

As for The Pledge... kids say it for 10 seconds each morning and that's it. There's no followup discussion about patriotism or even an explanation of why they're saying it. It's just a weird tradition at this point and has no effect on the kids. This is in stark contrast with what's been going on in schools now with administrators and teachers trying at every opportunity to align kids' moral compasses with the Rainbow ideologies, going so far as to incorporate that shit into fucking MATH.

He's half right.

People like that aren’t really atheists. That’s because they worship themselves.

No, that’s a no true Scotsman fallacy. You can be both an atheist and an absolute bell-end.

I’m an atheist and have always found this guy both annoying and completely unfunny, and I’ve always been baffled why so many people seemed to like him.

What is true is that a lot of popular American atheists really only gained attention opposing the ridiculous attempts by lunatic Christians to teach creationism in schools or ban Harry Potter. Now the irony is that a lot of those very atheists are promoting gender identity theory, critical race theory, child troonery and want to ban Harry Potter’s author.

It was the new Atheism movement where the dickhead atheists were essentially radicalized by the the crazy evangelical types and did a hard split, but you could tell that most of them were motivated more by an extreme hatred of religion rather than their disbelief in a deity.

also their belief Cheney's Saudi-supported war in Iraq would bring a glorious wave of secularism by bayonet
